As you leap upward from the ground, the force exerted on the ground in the moment of leaping is greater than your weight. This allows you to accelerate upwards. Gravity, of course, will bring you back down, causing another momentary force on the ground in excess of your weight as you decelerate.

How many newtons of force does a rocket need to take off?

This depends on the weight of the rocket, weight being the mass of the rocket multiplied by earth's gravitational pull. To take off, the rocket needs to exert force larger than the weight, and for a sufficient amount of time to break out of orbit. For instance, if the rocket had a mass of 1kg, it'd exert (1 * 9.8), or 9.8 Newtons of force towards to ground via it's weight (9.8 being the acceleration towards the ground due to gravity). This means that to start to accelerate away from the ground, the rocket would need to exert force higher than 9.8 Newtons. If your hypothetical rocket has a mass of x kg, then it will need to exert a force greater than 9.8x newtons, ignoring air resistance and decaying of the gravitational field.


A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falling bungee jumperWhere did all the energy go?

The energy didn't "go" anywhere. It gets its energy from someone letting it go. It all depends on how much force you put on it.


When you use a ramp what happens to the distance over which you exert force?

The distance is longer than the lift or the drop, but the force you need is less than the weight of the load.


What is the average force a person can exert?

I am pretty average at 180 lbs male. The conversion from lbs to kg is about .454 kg per lbs so 180(.454) = 81.72 kg. A newton (N) is one kg*m/s^2....so simply multiply by 9.8 m/s^2 and we get 800.856 N.

When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?

When standing on the ground, the Earth exerts a force equal to your weight in the downward direction (gravitational force) and you exert an equal force in the upward direction on the Earth (reaction force) as per Newton's Third Law of Motion.


What force is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them?

Buoyant force is an upward force that fluids exert on any object placed in them. It is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.


What action and reaction forces are present when you are sitting in a chair?

When you sit in a chair, the action force is the downward force you exert on the chair due to your weight. The reaction force is the upward force exerted by the chair on you, supporting your weight and keeping you from falling to the ground.


Can ground reaction force on the athlete's foot be greater than their body weight?

Yes; a running athlete can exert up to 4 times their body weight in force upon the ground.

When you stand on one foot the pressure you exert is your weight divided by your shoe size?

The pressure you exert when standing on one foot is actually your weight divided by the area of contact between your foot and the ground. Shoe size is not a relevant factor in this calculation as it does not affect the pressure. The smaller the area of contact, the greater the pressure exerted on the ground.


When your weight is greater than mg and when your weight is zero?

When your weight is greater than mg, the normal force acting on you will be greater than your weight, resulting in an upward force. When your weight is zero (for example, during free fall), the normal force is also zero as there is no contact surface to exert a force on you.


When you stand on a floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet?

Yes, according to Newton's third law of motion, the floor exerts an equal and opposite force against your feet when you stand on it. This upward force is what supports your weight and prevents you from falling.


How is possible for air pressure to exert a vertically upward force on a ceiling?

Air pressure exerts a vertically upward force on a ceiling due to the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. This pressure difference results in a net force that pushes upward on the ceiling, according to Newton's third law of motion.


How come a lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground then a heavier object?

The pressure exerted by an object is determined by its weight and the area over which the weight is distributed. A lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground if it has a smaller contact area with the ground, concentrating the force into a smaller area. In contrast, a heavier object with a larger contact area would distribute its weight over a wider area, resulting in less pressure per unit area.
