Answer:
The weight of the parcel is 5 N
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Weight can be calculated using the equation:
[tex]W=mg[/tex]
where
W ----> weight (W) is measured in newtons (N)
m ----> mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg)
g ----> gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)
In this problem we have
[tex]g=10\ N/kg[/tex]
[tex]m=500\ g[/tex]
Remember that
[tex]1\ kg=1,000\ g[/tex]
To convert g to kg
Divide by 1,000
so
[tex]m=500\ g=500/1,000=0.5\ kg[/tex]
substitute the values in the equation
[tex]W=(0.5)(10)=5\ N[/tex]
therefore
The weight of the parcel is 5 N
