A 0.15 kg baseball falls to the ground with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. What is the weight of the baseball?

1.47 N

Explanation:

Weight: Weight can be defined as the gravitational pull on a body. The S. I unit of weight is Newton (W).

Weight is a vector quantity and as such it can be expressed in both magnitude and direction

The formula of weight is given as,

W = mg ... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the base ball, m = mass of the base ball, g = acceleration due to gravity of the base ball.

Given: m = 0.15 kg, g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

W = 0.15 (9.8)

W = 1.47 N
