When forces act in opposite direction?
When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.
What is difference between weight and mass of object?
The Difference:Mass - is the amount of matter in an objectWeight - the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an objectHow they are measured:Mass - balanceWeight - scaleUnit of measurement:Mass - grams (g) and kilograms (kg)Weight - newtons (N)
Does the amount of newtons affect the distance of an object?
Distance is measured in meters

What is effect of the weight of the helicopter on the terminal speed?
When an object falls in the air, the air resistance opposing its motion increases as its speed rises, so reducing its acceleration. Eventually air resistance acting upwards equals the weight of the object acting downwards. The resultant force on the object is then zero since the two opposing forces balance. The object falls at a constant velocity, called its terminal velocity, whose value depends on the size, shape and weight of the object. This is just like Newton's laws, an object will accelerate if the forces acting upon it are unbalanced; and further, the amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the amount of net force (unbalanced force) acting upon it. Falling objects initially accelerate (gain speed) because there is no force big enough to balance the downward force of gravity. Yet as an object gains speed, it encounters an increasing amount of upward air resistance force. In fact, objects will continue to accelerate (gain speed). Or summat like that...
What is measure of the amount of gravity acting on an object?
9.8 newtons on earth W= MxG(9.8)

How many pounds is 20 newtons?
20 pounds is 20 / 2.20462262 = 9.072 kg F = m * g where m is 9.072 kg and g is 9.81 m/s2So the amount of newtons acting on 20 pounds is: 9.072 * 9.81 = 89 newton
What is the mass of a 300 newtons person?
The mass of a person cannot be directly determined from their weight. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. To calculate the mass of a person, you would need to divide their weight (300 newtons) by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2).
Did Jesus weigh 3 cabs?
(Weight is measured in Newtons (not in Cabs) and it is dependant on the amount of gravity that was acting on Him.) I don't think anyone actually knows yet how much Jesus weighed.
What happens to the scale if you have a unbalanced scale and add the same amount to each side?
It stays unbalanced, and in the same direction.

What is the definition of a unbalanced force?
There is no such thing as "an unbalanced force". There are only forces. When two or more separate forces act on the same object, the GROUP of forces may be balanced or unbalanced. If the sizes and directions of all the individual forces add up to zero, then the GROUP of forces is balanced. If one of them changes or goes away, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.
Does the amount of newtons affect the distance of an object?
Distance is measured in meters
What can you weigh on a Richter Scale?
Nothing. Weight is the force of gravity acting on objects with mass. It is measured in units of Newtons. The Richter scale is not a physical or mechanical object but a mathematical scale used to rate the magnitude (the amount of energy released by) of earthquakes.

How does the resultant force relate to the acceleration of the boat?
resultant force is the overall size of force acting on the object. the acceleration increases the amount of newton so the resultant becomes increased. the force realating to the accelaration of the boat is the amount of increasiment in the newtons. hope this helps everyone please appreciate this time as i have sprent an hour for this answer
