Answer:
approximately 150 grams
Explanation:
The weight of an object is a product of its mass and acceleration of gravity acting upon it. Since weight (W) is force, it is measured in Newtons (N) or Kgms-²
W = mg
Where;
W = weight (N)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity
g is a constant, which is approximately 10m/s²
Therefore, according to this question, the mass of a bag of shells that weighs 1.5N can be calculated thus:
m = W/g
m = 1.5/10
m = 0.15 kg
Converting 0.15kg to grams, we multiply by 1000 i.e 0.15 × 1000 = 150 grams.
Hence, the mass of the object is approximately 150grams.
