It sure works on Earth. It works everywhere. If there is no net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. Vice versa, if the object does not accelerate, that means there is no net force on the object.

yes, since newtons law


If you weight 100 newtons on earth how many newtons on mercury?

That's a very low weight; approximately the weight of a small baby. Anyway, gravity on Earth is 9.8 newton/kilogram, gravity on Mercury is 3.7 newton/kilogram. You can write a proportion for that; or else you can first work out the mass, then use this to calculate the weight on Mercury.


Why scientist reject newtons third law of motion?

The third law is rejected by scientists, it has been proven to work, and has been accepted by the scientific community.


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.


What is the exertion of a force on an object called that produces motion in the direction of a force?

Work occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.


When is work said to be done against the force of gravity?

All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.


Do newtons laws work for outer space?

NO


What units are work measured in?

Joules or newtons*meters


A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?

Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance.
