Stored energy in an object

3. A 2 kg book rests on a table. What is its weight (to 3 s.f.)?

2 N

19.6 N

0.2 N

200 N

4. A car of mass 800 kg accelerates at 2 m/s². What is the resultant force?

400 N

800 N

✏️ Part 2: Calculations & Short Answers

5. Calculate the weight of a 7.5 kg bag. Show working and give the answer in newtons (N).
6. A skydiver has mass 70 kg.
a) Calculate their weight on Earth (g = 9.8 N/kg).
b) Calculate their weight on the Moon (g = 1.6 N/kg).
7. A force of 45 N causes a 9 kg object to accelerate. Calculate the acceleration (m/s²). Show your working.
8. A 1 500 kg lorry is braked by a force of 6 000 N. Calculate its deceleration (m/s²). State the value as negative to show it is slowing down.
9. Draw and label the forces acting on a stationary box on a horizontal floor. Include at least: weight, normal force and friction (if any).
10. An object weighs 294 N on Earth. Calculate its mass (kg). Show your working.
