Answer 1

To determine the mass of the rock from its weight, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Acceleration due to gravity}
\]

Rearranging this equation gives you:

\[
\text{Mass} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Acceleration due to gravity}}
\]

In this case, the weight of the rock is 6.8 N, and the acceleration due to gravity is typically considered to be 9.8 m/s² (on Earth).

Thus, to determine the mass of the rock, you would:

**Divide 6.8N by 9.8m/s².**

This is the correct response. Dividing by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) will give you the mass in kilograms.
