The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s2. If the mass of a honeybee is 0.000100 kilograms, what is the weight of this insect?

Answer :

L0rdPh03nix
weight = mg 
here m = 0.000100 g = 9.80 
hence weight = 0.00980 kgm/s2

Answer:

0.00098 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 gravitational acceleration on the planet

In this problem, we have:

[tex]m=0.0001 kg[/tex] is the mass of the honeybee

[tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting into the equation, we find:

[tex]W=mg=(0.0001 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=0.00098 N[/tex]
