What is the gravity of 9.8 kg?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
This uestion contains a common misconception. "9.8 kg" doesn't describe gravity—it mixes units incorrectly. Gravity's acceleration is 9.8 m/s² (not kg). If you have a 9.8 kg mass, its weight (gravitational force) on Earth would be: F = mg = 9.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 96.04 Newtons. Kilograms measure mass (the amount of matter), while gravity is measured as acceleration (m/s²) or force (Newtons).
