Buggers can't guess weight of 8 $1 coins!?!?!

that wasn't intellectual babble, it was sophomoric high school college talk.

seeing that you have never even stepped inside a college it is obvious you are writing jibberish.

yes, i suppose you figure that out. i fail my psle, share a room in bedok, work part time, and struggle to pay rent.

What has this got to do with math? Common sense probably, but clearly nothing to do with Math!

Whoever wrote this question must have been an Oppo supporter! :oIo:

Common sense has everything to do with maths. It is the foundation of all our studies actually.

nope he didn't it's all there to see and i posted that to him not because of that thread you twit.

May I ask, which thread were you referring to when you said this in post #15:

Also the last one well you didn't win anything so it's kind of weird you would act like i'm sore.

Yes. It does not belong in a math test, or at least what we're used seeing in a math test. There are no calculations, or juggling of figures. It has more to do with basic common sense. But it was still a question in an exam, and the kids had to answer it. From the subjects offered at PSLE level, it is more apt to place this question in a math test than any other subject. Definitely not in an English or Mother Tongue Test. There should be a subject called Common Sense, although I don't know how its going to be taught.

Cheers!

You got your facts all mixed up.

1 Newton = the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kg to an acceleration of 1 m/s²

Thus, force in Newtons = mass x acceleration

Weight = gravitational force acting on a mass and accelerating it to g (acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²)

Thus, weight in Newtons = mass x g

JohnTan is right: weight is measure in N, mass in kg.

impressive !!!!!
