C.) 1.67 kg

D.) 1.67 N*kg

E.) 1.67 m/s2

anonymous · Answer

well you can right off the bat knock off C and D because the unites for acceleration are m/s2. do you know the formula for weight?

anonymous · Answer

the formula is W=M*G, so if you know W, and you know M, just plug in those values and solve for G, so your final formula will look like: G=W/M.

anonymous · Answer

the answer will be (E) , because g= 167/ 100

anonymous · Answer

That is correct, the answer will be 1.67 m/s2
