* Weight vs. Mass: Weight (measured in Newtons, N) is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass (measured in kilograms, kg) is the amount of matter in an object.
* Velocity: Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position over time. It doesn't directly relate to an object's mass.
To find the mass, you need to use the following formula:
* Weight (Force) = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity
Here's how to solve for mass:
1. Identify the known values:
* Weight (Force) = 100 N
* Acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²)
2. Rearrange the formula:
* Mass = Weight / Acceleration due to gravity
3. Substitute the values:
* Mass = 100 N / 9.8 m/s²
4. Calculate:
* Mass ≈ 10.2 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is approximately 10.2 kilograms.
