What is the weight of a glider with a mass of 4.9 grams?

0.0481 N

Explanation:

The mass of a body is the quantity of matter stored in that body. It is a property that measures resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. The S. I unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).

The weight of a body is the force exerted on that body by gravity. The S. I unit of weight is the Newton (N). The weight of an object can also be defined as the force acting on the object. The formula for weight is:

Weight (W) = Mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g).

Giving that: mass (m) = 4.9 g = 0.0049 g and acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s².

Therefore, Weight (W) = 0.0049 * 9.81 = 0.0481 N
