Answer:
Mass, m of the student is 50kg.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Weight of student = 490N
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s
Weight is the product of the mass of an object or body multiplied by gravity.
Mathematically, weight is;
[tex] W = mg[/tex]
Where;
W represents the weight of a body measured in Newton.
m represents the mass of a body measured in kilograms.
a represents acceleration due to gravity measured in metre per seconds.
[tex] m = \frac{W}{g}[/tex]
[tex] m = \frac{490}{9.8}[/tex]
Mass, m = 50kg.
Therefore, the mass of the student is 50kg.
