What is the mass of an object weighing 63 N on Earth?
A) 0.1 kg
B) 6.3 kg
C) 73 kg
D) 617 kg

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass of an object can be calculated using the formula $F = ma$, where $F$ is the force in newtons (N), $m$ is the mass in kilograms (kg), and $a$ is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, approximately $9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2$. Given a weight (force) of 63 N, the mass is calculated as $m = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{63 \, \text{N}}{9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2} \approx 6.4 \, \text{kg}$, which rounds to 6.3 kg for the choices given.
