SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the weight of an object using the relationship between acceleration and net force. Given an acceleration of 1.0 m/s² and a net force of 2.0 N, the weight can be determined using Newton's second law, F = m * a. By rearranging the formula, the mass (m) can be calculated as m = F / a, resulting in a mass of 2.0 kg, which corresponds to a weight of 19.6 N when considering gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²).
