Is mass and weight different?
Yes. Weight is a force. Force = mass x acceleration. Acceleration is the gravity of a body. So on Earth, weight = mass x 9.9 m/sec2 Mass is a property related to the atoms in a substance.
When a force equals its weight is applied on a body what is its acceleration?
The acceleration depends on the net force. So, you must add the forces together as vectors. The result in this case depends in what direction the force is applied.
How are mass weight and acceleration related to gravity?
Gravity is the force that attracts two masses together. Weight on Earth is the force of gravity acting upon an object on Earth. The formula for force is: F=ma -or- Force=mass x acceleration So, multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2 on Earth) will give you the measurement of the force of gravity acting upon the object, also known as the object's weight.
What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?
An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.
What is the weight of 88.6 kg?
Weight is a force, i.e. mass x acceleration In earth's gravitational field the acceleration is 9.80665 m/s² so 88.6 kg would weigh 868.9 N. Which is equivalent to 195.329563725206 lb(force) Of course, where gravity is different, the weight of that mass would also be different.
Why does force increase with weight?
In the real world, the word 'weight' is commonly wrongly used interchangably with 'mass' as both are measured in kilograms. The formula is Force (weight in this case) = Mass x Acceleration. Force is measured in Newtons (N). Mass - the amount of substance - is measured in Kilograms (Kg) and Acceleration - rate of change of speed - is measured in m/s/s. F=ma, therefore weight increases with mass along with acceleration. However, returning to its scientific definition, weight is 'the force with which a body is attracted to Earth or another celestial body, equal to the product of the object's mass and the acceleration of gravity.'(dictionary.com) The direct answer to the question is thus weight=force and they increase proportionately in a 1:1 ratio. so it does that GET IT!!!!
How does the strength of a force affect the movement of an object?
Force is directly proportional to acceleration, so the greater the force, the greater the acceleration.
How is acceleration affected by force?
the more force u put on an object the faster it goes 4 example, if a little girl pushes a wagon with a bolder in it it wont go the far but if a full grow man pushed it it would go father because there will b more force.
How is newtons second law shown in every day life?
Well one example would be throwing a baseball. Newton's second law is the law of Force: force = mass x acceleration, so the impact force of the baseball on your mitt depends on the mass of the baseball and it's acceleration rate. Another example is weight. Weight is a measurement of your force on the planet, but mass is how much substance is in something. So the way to calculate your weight in Newtons is to take your mass (kilograms) and multiply it my the acceleration on Earth due to gravity (which is roughly 9.8 meters/second squared) and then you will get your weight in Newton's. Hope this helps!
What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?
Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.
How is a pound in weight?
realistically weight is actually a force, it is our mass time the acceleration due to gravity on earth (9.8m/s2) so it technically should be in newtons, but we describe it as pounds
What is the force of gravitity at the surface of your planet?
The acceleration of gravity (lower case g) on Earth's surface is often taken to be 9.8 m/s^2, so the force exerted can be determined by multiplying the acceleration by the mass in question. This manifests in the weight of the object.
