A stone has a mass of 40 grams, It weight is
Correct answer: B. 0.392 N
- A. 128 N
- B. 0.392 N
- C. 128 dynes
- D. 39 N
Explanation
To find the weight of the stone, we use the formula Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. The mass of the stone is 40 grams, which is 0.04 kg (since 1 kg = 1000 grams). The standard gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². Thus, the weight = 0.04 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 0.392 N. Option B is correct. Option A assumes an incorrect scenario, Option C uses a different unit (dynes), which isn't the correct conversion, and Option D reflects a miscalculation.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
