Ex: During a softball game, a 0.2kg softball is hit by a bat. If the net force exerted on the softball by the bat is 300N (Newton's), what is the softball's acceleration?
0.2kg is mass, so you would take 0.2 divided by 300=1,500... your welcome smarty
You measure its mass, in kilograms, using a balance or scales and then multiply by gravitational acceleration (9.8 metres/second2) to get its weight (in Newtons).
On earth, 0.03kg is 0.294N using 9.8m/sec^2 for acceleration. (F = m x a)
Newtons is a measurement of force, and kilograms measures mass. In order to convert between the two you need some form of acceleration. Using Newtons law (F=ma) and assuming you are using gravity on earth, you would multiply 150 kg by 9.81 m/s^2 to get the force in Newtons.
Gravity is not the same as weight. Using the MKS unit system, gravity is a constant of acceleration (9.8m/s2) while weight is a Force in Newtons which can be calculated using: Fweight = mass*acceleration where mass is in kilograms and acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity.
First, calculate the mass by dividing the weight in Newtons by g (g=9.81 m/s2 on Earth, at sealevel), giving kilograms.Acceleration equals force in Newtons divided by mass.
You measure its mass, in kilograms, using a balance or scales and then multiply by gravitational acceleration (9.8 metres/second2) to get its weight in Newtons.
Force of gravity is essentially another way of asking for the weight of the object. To calculate this, you take the mass of the object (in kilograms) and multiply it by the gravitational acceleration of the Earth (9.8 m/s2 --9.8 meters squared). Your answer will be in Newtons (N).
The data provided will provide a guideline of how to calculate the unbalanced force. The unbalanced force is calculated using the formula : Unbalanced force is equivalent to the mass of the object in kilograms times the acceleration.
Work out the resultant force by either using trigonomatry or drawing a scale diagram and resolving the vectors. Once you have worked out the resultant force, use newtons 2nd law equation F=MA. F is the resultant force, M is the mass, and A is the acceleration
Approximately 912 newtons using 9.807m/s^2 for acceleration.
10 Mega grams is equal to ten million grams. Using the acceleration of gravity, the corresponding measure in kilo newtons is 98.07 kilo newtons.
The answer depends on what you want to do: calculate acceleration, journey time?
