Excellent question! It doesn't tell us much.
It can be described as pretty accurate and a good predictor of how the bodies will react.
Tons are a measure of mass with dimensions in mass, whereas Newtons are a measure of force. A body of mass 2 tons on earth would have a mass of 2 tons on the moon but because of the difference in the gravitational force exerted by the Earth and Moon, the force exerted by the body would be quite different. Newtons are a metric unit whereas tons is an imperial unit. 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg.
GRAVITY!!!!
The Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
Satellite pictures are taken through the satellite and sent to Earth via satellite waves.
a thing
Cus it is cool.
The object doing the circling is a satellite of the other. The Earth is one of the Sun's satellites.
"Weight" is the force exerted by gravity. Thus, 50 Newtons.
There are several such planets. As far as I know, at present they are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Saturn.
Yes it is in free fall because gravity is the only force acting on it. (no air resistance)
Technically, the Earth and any satellite both circle their mutual center of mass. Just like the balancing of an adult and a child on a see-saw, since the earth's mass is several times the mass of the satellite, their common center of mass is closer to the earth's center than it is to the satellite. Even in the case of the moon, the pair's common center of mass is inside the earth. In the case of any man-made artificial satellite, the mass ratio is several gazillion, and the common center of mass can't be more than a hair's breadth from the earth's center. So for any satellite, including the moon, it looks exactly as if the satellite is circling the earth.
50 pounds-force = 222.26 newtons (rounded)
Lots of ways. For example, the momentum of satellite + meteor before the impact, is the same after the impact.
Newtons are (kg m)/sec^2 which is a measure of force, not mass Improved answer: Kilograms are a measure of mass and also of force which varies with the gravity of the context. 10,000 newtons is equivalent to the force exerted by a mass (on Earth) of 1,000 kilograms (2,205 pounds).
The weight of an object is the force it exerts due to its mass and gravitational pull. On earth, a 1 kg object would 'weigh' 9.8 Newtons.
54kg in newtons on earth weighs 529.2 newtons.
