Answer:
less than
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the person, m = 100 kg
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The reading on the scale is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;
R = mg - ma
R = m(g-a)
at constant velocity, the acceleration is zero
a = 0
R = m(g-0)
R = mg
R = 100 x 9.8
R = 980 N
Thus, the scale reading is equal to the weight of the person but less than 1000 N
