What is the 6 letter word with the second letter being E and the clue is 'the units for this are newtons' people sometimes use kilograms by mistake?
Weight is usually measured in newtons.
What uses newtons as unite(people sometimes use kilograms by mistake)?
Newtons are used as a unit of force, measured by the amount of force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared. People might mistakenly use kilograms as a unit for weight, as weight is commonly measured in kilograms even though it should technically be measured in newtons.
Do white sharks eat persons?
White sharks do sometimes eat people (or parts of people) but this is rare. They normally hunt for seals, but sometimes they will mistake a person for a seal.
Why don't we use newton to measure weight?
We don't use newtons to measure weight in everyday contexts because weight is commonly expressed in more familiar units such as pounds or kilograms. While newtons are the SI unit of force and quantify weight based on mass and gravitational acceleration, many people find pounds and kilograms more intuitive. Additionally, different countries have varying customary units, so pounds and kilograms are more widely accepted for practical use.
If weight is measured in Newtons and mass is measured in Kilograms why are products in the supermarket described as having a weight in kilograms?
Things are like that because most people are more familiar with a kilogram, and so it makes more sense from a marketing standpoint. In general, thinking people buy less. Anything unfamiliar requires thought, and so putting it in Newtons would make people have to convert to a more familiar measurement which would make them think, which would make them worried about the future, which would make them spend less. Besides, the differences in gravity that a person experiences at different points on the earth's surface are so small, that for most people, an object of a certain mass always has the same weight.
Why do people type the same word twice?
SOMETIMES THE MISTAKE WILL BE ON YOU OR YOUR TYPING KEYBOARD
What is weight usually measured in?
Weight in a scientific form is measured in Newtons (N). Which is derived from the equation F=ma. Mass in the other hand is in more common use to most people and is usually measured in Kilogrammes (Kg) or Pounds (lbs), or stones and pounds (st & lb).
What unit of measure would you use to measure would you use to measure height?
Weight is a measure of force that is dependent on the physical environment the object is in. For example: A rock on earth may weigh 50 newtons, but on the moon, due to there being less gravity, will weigh 20 newtons. Mass stays the same no matter what the environment the object is in, so a rock on Earth may weigh 100 kilograms, but on the moon it will weigh 100 kilograms as well. Units for Mass: Grams (g), Kilograms (kg), Pounds (lbs) etc. Units for Weight: Newtons (n)
What is another name for a hamster?
agerbil isn't actually a hamster but, a close "cousin". but, some people mistake hamsters for gerbils sometimes and call them that.
How many snaps does a venues fly trap have?
only one but sometimes people mistake two plants for one and so they think it has two
What makes great whites dangerous?
They have many very sharp teeth and strong jaws. they will sometimes mistake people on surfboards for seals and attack them.
What is the correct unit of measurement for weight?
newton Technically speaking weight is measured in newtons, but newtons are used to measure force. Weight in the scientific sense is the force a body exerts due to the effect of gravity on it's mass. Gravity on earth has an accelerating effect of roughly ten metres per second per second. So weight is mass, in kilograms, multiplied by ten. Newtons are a derived unit made up of kilogram metres per second per second. In everyday use weight is taken as a synonym for mass; so recipes, people, buses, etc. are weighed in kilograms.
