Question

What is the relationship between the weight of a cellphone and its mass (0.26 kg)? A) The weight is the mass multiplied by ten. B) The weight is the mass divided by the acceleration due to gravity. C) The weight and mass are independent of one another and solely dependent upon location. D) The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, wherever it is located.

Answer 1

The relationship between the weight of a cellphone and its mass is D) The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, wherever it is located.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, wherever it is located.

Explanation:

The weight of any object is determined by the force with which that object is attracted by the gravity where the object is located, for example, on space where there is no gravity, objects weight 0, no matter how much mass they have, so the weight is the product of the mass multiplied by the gravity, on earth gravity is 9.81 m/s2, so the weight of the cellphone would be determined by multiplying .26 kg by 9.81 m/s2.
