The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s 2 . An African elephant can have a mass up to 6,050 kg. What is its weight

59,290 N
617 N
0.00162 N
60,100 N

Respuesta :

The answer to this is 59,290 N

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

59,290 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem:

m = 6050 kg

g = 9.80 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation, we find:

[tex]W=(6050 kg)(9.80 m/s^2)=59,290 N[/tex]
