How much does a person who weight 360 newtons on earth weight on the moon if the moon has onesixth the gravity of earth?
The Gravity on the Moon is much weaker than the Gravity on Earth, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of the Gravity on Earth. So for example: An Object that weighs 690 N on Earth will weigh 115 N on the moon. In order to get your answer, just divide any number by 6 and you will get your answer. Answer: 360 N on Earth will result as 60 N on the moon.
How much is 450 newtons on the moon?
The mass of an object stays the same, but the weight in newtons will be lower due to the moons lower gravity. It will be 0.1654 (16.5%) of 450 which is 74.43 Newtons.
Which planet has the highest surface gravity?
Jupiter has the greatest acceleration due to gravity at surface radius @ 23.1 (m / s) / s, (Compared to that at earths surface of 9.82 (m / s) / s.) The effect of a planets gravity, is a combination of its mass, and your distance from its centre. The following equation gives the force of gravity (in newtons) between two bodies. f = (G*m1*m2) / d2 G = newtons gravitational constant m1 = planets mass m2 = objects mass d = distance between centres of gravity Note; say you removed yourself to 2 * surface radius of Jupiter, the force of gravity would be 1/4 that of the surface
Do scientists believe in big bang theory?
To the same extent that they believe gravity exists away from our planet, and for the same reason: scientists observe the predictions made by both ideas. Planets move around our Sun just as gravity predicts they will, and our Universe is exactly as predicted by Big Bang Cosmology.
Does weight change depending on where you are?
Everyone has a mass, which is what people class as their weight (e.g 64kg). However, Weight is actually mass x gravity, measured in Newtons (N). As gravity is different between planets, your weight is going to change in different atmospheres. However, if you are talking just about Earth, than the Averagegravity is 9.8m/s, so your weight may fluctuate slightly, but not really noticeably.
Why is measurement of weight in pounds and not newtons?
They can be in either. Just like you measure distance in miles or in kilometers you can measure weight which is actually just the Force of Gravity in either pounds or Newtons. Newtons is the official SI unit of measure and pounds is the imperial old fashion way.
When is a theory considered absolutely true in science?
Actually never, a theory is always in danger of being replaced by a better explanation. This does not invalidate the theory, it just means it was not as comprehensive and explanation of observations as was thought. An example of this is Newtons laws of gravity, they are still usable but we now know that Einstein's space/time bending by the mass of an object is a more comprehensive explanation.

What is the action and reaction when earth gravity pulls down on a book?
gravity i guess. i do not understand your question sorry -this is not the answer i just guessed.-
How is a theory different from a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a guess in what you think it is a theory is a fact and someone already proved it in the past.
What stops the water in oceans from falling out?
Just where do you suppose it is going to fall out to ? I guess your answer is gravity.
What is the difference between a scientific theory and just the common theory?
A scientific theory has been tested repeatedly and is correct for all observed results. A common theory (as used in everyday language) is just a guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory
What is the Weight of an object that has a 2kg mass?
Depends on the force of gravity; but on Earth, you can assume a gravity of 9.82 Newton / kg - that is, just multiply the mass by 9.82.
Why is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution more than a guess?
Because there's supporting evidence for it. Lots of supporting evidence. Overwhelming, awe-inspiring amounts of supporting evidence.A scientific theory is not just a guess. My chemistry teacher explained it this way: a theory is something we can explain (the theory of evolution or the theory of relativity). A law is something we can't explain (the law of gravity. We know it works, we're just not sure exactly why or how).Charles Darwin spent years developing his hypothesis of natural selection. There is ample evidence supporting his final theory, some found long after his death. To this day, archeologists still find fossil evidence that fits into Darwin's explanation of changing species.
How much does a fifty kg mass weigh?
Just a guess - 50kgIt all depends on the gravity on which the object lies.
What is a skier's gravitational potential energy at 10 meters?
Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Close to Earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 newtons/meter.
How do the terms 'hypothesis' and 'theory' differ from the public and from a biologist's approach?
A hypothesis is a good acurate guess based on the facts and evidence, while a theory is just a wild guess. But a hypothesis and theory's are both made by scientists with more knowledge than a regular, ordinary person.
