[tex]W=8.93\cdot 10^{-30}\ N[/tex][tex]\mathbf{W=8.93\cdot 10^{-30}\ N}[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass and Weight

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's amount of matter it contains. It's expressed in Kilograms or similar units.

The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity. It's often expressed in Newtons or similar units.

The formula to calculate the weight of an object with known mass m is:

W = m.g

Where g is the acceleration of gravity in the place it's located. We are given the mass of an electron:

[tex]m=9.109\cdot 10^{-31}\ Kg[/tex]

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is:

[tex]g=9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the weight is:

[tex]W =9.109\cdot 10^{-31}\ Kg*9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{W=8.93\cdot 10^{-30}\ N}[/tex]
