The net force is calculated by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force: 80 N - 60 N = 20 N. Therefore, the net force acting on the ball is 20 newtons.

A baseball is hit with 1500 N of force The ball exerts a reaction force against the bat of?

As per Isaac Newton, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, the force that the bat exerts on the ball is the same as the force that the ball exerts on the bat; in this case, 1500 Newtons.


When 2 or more forces cancel their effect?

When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved. If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.


What is the metric unit used for weight?

'Weight' is force. The SI unit of force is the Newton.1 kilogram exerts a force of 9.8 newtons one Earth's surface.1 pound is about 4.448 newtons.1 newton is about 3.6 ounces.


How many newtons of gravitational force are exerted on one kilograms of mass?

On Earth, the force of gravity exerts approximately 9.81 newtons on one kilogram of mass. This gravitational force is a result of the mass of the object and the gravitational acceleration.


How much does a kilogram weigh?

How much gravitational force does the earth have?

On or near Earth's surface, the force of gravity on any mass is 9.8 newtons per kilogram. The force of gravity that any mass on or near the surface exerts on the Earth is also 9.8 newtons per kilogram.


Are newtons weight?

Newtons are the force one object exerts on another. The weight you see on a bathroom scale is how much the scale pushes back, which equals the Newtonian force. However, mass and Newtons are different but related. Newtons is the gravitational pull multiplied by the mass. The basic equation is: (mass in grams)(9.8)=Force in Newtons 9.8 is the gravitational pull on every object on Earth.


What is 10kg weight in newtons?

10 kg is equivalent to 98.1 newtons on Earth's surface. This is because weight is a force dependent on gravity, and on Earth, 1 kilogram of mass exerts a force of 9.81 newtons.


A 200 lb man exerts 882 Newtons on earth how many Joules is that?

Joules is the unit of work being done. A 200 Ib man exerts 882 Newtons is not getting any work done. If 882 Newtons, which is the force, was multiplied by 0 movement, then the 200 Ib man is exerting 0 joules.
