A. 15 N
B. 5.2 N
C. 147 N
D. 1.53 N

Answer :

Answer: C) 147 N

Explanation: The weight of an object can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the given values, weight = 15 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 147 N. Therefore, the weight of the 15 kg rock is 147 Newtons.
