The magnitude of that force is printed on the front of every bag of sugar.

Look at it carefully, and you'll find markings like "1 lb" or "5 lb" or "10 lb".

That's code for the gravitational force exerted on that bag when it's full.

Unless your family prefers metric sugar. Then it gets a little more complicated,

because they use mass instead of weight (which is a type of force). To get

the force, multiply the mass printed on the bag in kg by about 9.8 m/s/s.

The answer will be in newtons, which unlike grams and kilograms are

force units.

What is the weight of a 1kg bag of sugar on earth?

Fg=mg therefore Fg=(1.0kg)x(9.81m/s^2) Fg=9.81N


How would the weight of the same bag of sugar on Mars and Jupiter differ from that on earth?

The weight of the bag of sugar on Mars would be about 0.38 times its weight on Earth, due to Mars having weaker gravity. On Jupiter, the weight of the bag of sugar would be about 2.53 times its weight on Earth, since Jupiter's gravity is much stronger.


Why does a 1 kilogram bag of sugar stretch a spring more than an orange?

That is because the 1 KG (Kilogram) bag of sugar weighs more than the orange. Therefore it's taking gravity more force to support the bag of sugar than the orange.


Why force is needed to lift a bag?

Force is needed to lift a bag because the bag has mass, which causes it to experience the force of gravity pulling it down. By applying an upward force greater than the force of gravity, the bag can be lifted against gravity.


If a bag of sugar on Earth has a mass of 1 kilogram how much mass will a bag of sugar have on the Moon?

The mass of the sugar will remain the same, 1 kilogram, regardless of location. Weight (which is affected by gravity) is what changes depending on location. On the Moon, the bag of sugar will weigh less due to the weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.


If you lift a bag of sugar to one shelf then another does it get easier the higher you go up?

No, lifting the bag of sugar to a higher shelf does not get easier as you go higher. In fact, the work required to lift the bag against gravity remains the same regardless of the height you are lifting it to. The force needed to overcome gravity is constant, so the effort required doesn't change with the shelf height.


What is the net force on a bag being pulled down by gravity with a force of 18 N and pulled upward by a rope with a force of 18 N?

The net force on the bag is 0 N. The gravitational force pulling the bag down is balanced by the force exerted by the rope pulling the bag upward, resulting in no net force acting on the bag.


Is there gravity between earth and the space shuttle as it orbits earth?

Yes, there is the force of gravity when the Space Shuttle is in space. The Earth's gravity is a force which continues throughout space, however diminishing as it travels further out (similar to the suns light traveling throughout space). A good example of the gravity's force in space would be the tool bag lost on a spacewalk which fell back to Earth. Also, the gravity in space seems much less due to the fact there is very little to no atmosphere weighing on the space craft (depending on altitude). On Earth atmosphere at sea level ways 14.7 pounds per square inch and gets lighter as you climb.


What is the net force on a bag pulled down by gravity with 18 newtons and pulled upward by a rope with 18 newtons?

Well unless this is a trick question it is 0 Newtons as the 2 forces cancel themselves out.


What is the mass of the 7lbs bag of sugar in kilograms on earth?

What is the weight of a 2.50 kg bag of sand on the surface of the earth?

The weight of a 2.50 kg bag of sand on the surface of the Earth would be approximately 24.5 N (Newtons), assuming standard gravity of 9.81 m/s^2. This weight is the force exerted by gravity on the mass of the sand.


How much force is needed to hold up a 20kg bag of sand?

The force needed to hold up a 20kg bag of sand would be equivalent to the weight of the bag, which is approximately 196 Newtons (N) on Earth.
