How much is 24 kg in pounds?
The answer is 52.911 lbs (approx.). Kilogram is the SI unit of mass and pound is an imperial unit of mass. To convert from kg to pound, multiply the kg unit by 2.20462.
Why does a pendulum move from side to side?
A swinging Foucault Pendulum will change its direction 360° over a 24-hour period as Earth rotates on its axis. The motion of the pendulum is independent of Earth motions. The pendulum actually swings in the same direction it is Earth that rotates beneath the pendulum.
By whom and how was the mass of the earth discovered?
Sir Isaac Newton, Henry Cavendish, Galileo Galilei and Eratosthenes contributed to the calculation of earth's mass.The mass of the earth was calculated by using the Newton's Law of Gravity which states that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses of these objects and is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two objects.Mathematically: F = GmM/r2Where F is gravitational force, G is proportionalty canstant, m and M are masses of the objects and r is distance between them.This law can be used for the gravitational force between the earth and the object near its surface. Then the mass of the earth can be calculated by using the formula: M= Fr2 / Gm where M is the mass of the earth, F is gravitational force, r is radius of the earth and G is gravitational constant.The circuference of earth was calculated by a Greek mathematician Eratosthenes thousands of years ago. Eratosthenes knew that on the summer solstice at local noon sun appears directly overhead on the Tropic of Cancer. He calculated his local noon (half-way between sunrise and sunset) in Alexandria. He erected a vertical stick and measured the length of its shadow. After this he obtained the angle of elevation of sun. Then he calculated the zenith angle by subtracting the angle of elevation of sun from 90°. He calculated the earth circumference using the formula:Angle of the sun / 360° = Distance to Tropic of Cancer / Earth circumferenceWhen the circumference is known, radius can be calculated. So Eratosthenes was the first person to measure the radius of the earth.The value of g (acceleration due to gravity) was measured by Galileo and it is used for the calculation of earth's mass. Aristotle's concept of physics was that the lighter objects fall slowly while the heavier objects fall faster, later Galileo discovered that acceleration towards the earth due to gravity is constant for all objects. He dropped the heavier and lighter object from the same height at the same time and noticed that all bodies accelerate towards the earth in the same way.Newton's law of Gravitational force: F=GMm/r2Newton's second law of motion: F= mgmg = GMm/r2 or g = GM/r2 where g is gravity, G is gravitational constant, M is mass of earth and r is distance of falling object from earth. Acceleraton due to gravity (g) does not depend on the mass of falling object m. All objects fall at the same rate.Gallileo showed downward motion of a ball due to gravity and calculated the value of g. Galileo could not measure the vertical fall because it was too fast. Instead he measured the acceleration by rolling balls down an inclined board. He measure the distance covered by the balls and measured the times in clicks.Galileo could not measured the exact value of acceleration of gravity because :1: he measured g by rolling balls down the inclined planes (angle of inclined board affected the acceleration of balls)2: the ball was rolling (he could not measure motion of falling balls directly to the earth due to gravity)So he could not measured the right value of g but he had a right idea. The actual value of g is 9.8 m/s2　In 1798 Henry Cavendish was the first person to measure the mass of earth and for this purpose he calculated the value of constant G (gravitational constant) because the value of g and the radius of earth had already been discovered. After discovering the value of G he putted the values in the formula of Newton's Law of Gravitation and discovered the mass of the earth. The Cavendish's apparatus consist of two wooden rods with the lead spheres attached to each end (two small balls and two larger balls). The rod with the small balls was suspended from a wire and was free to rotate. A mirror was attached to the wire. The two large balls were placed near the small balls. The attraction between the large balls and small balls caused the wooden rod to rotate, twisting the wire through a small angle. Henry Cavenih measured the amount of twist by the position of reflected light spot from the mirror. He measured the force F between the balls by measuring the oscillation period of wire.He measured the value of G using the formula: F = GMm/r2 where M is mass of large ball, m is mass of small ball and r is distance between balls.CalculationsF=GMm/r2 where F is gravitational force, G is gravitational constant, M is mass of earth, m is mass of another object near the surface of earth, r is the radius of the earth.According to Newton's second law of motion F=ma where a = g (acceleration due to gravity)mg = GMm/r2 or g = GM/r2 (mass of object m is canceled out)M = ar2 / G (value of g is 9.8m/s2, G= 6.67*10 -11 m3/kg.s2)M = 6.0*10 24 kg
How does the mass of object affect stopping distance?
With a given braking system (car or rocketship), the system has to dissipate the Kinetic energy of the object. Kinetic formula for K.E. is 1/2MV2 (that 2 means squared). Therefore, the stopping distance increases linearly with the MASS. Another way to look at it is the Force required to stop the MASS, which is: F=M x A, so again as MASS increases the required Force increases Linearly.
Is there something smaller than a yoctometer?
Yes there is, although there is no commonly known metric prefix. The Planck length, for example, is approx 1.616 199 97 times 10^{-35} metres. By contrast, a yoctometre is 10^(-24) metres so that the Planck length is less than 20 trillionths of a yoctometre..
What would be the force required to produce an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared on a body of mass 12kg?
Force is given by Newton's second law: F = ma where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. In this example, the mass is 12kg and the acceleration is 2 m/s2, so the resulting force is F = ma F = (12kg)*(2m/s2) F = 24 (kg*m)/s2 = 24 N
What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of 4 metre per second square in a ball of mass 6 kg?
Simply use Newton's Second Law:F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)
What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of 4metre per second square on a ball of mass 6 kg?
You can use Newton's Second Law to calculate this.
True or falseIf the same force acts upon two objects with different masses the acceleration will be greater for the object with greater mass?
This is true. Newton's 2nd law gives us the equation F_net = ma, where m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in m/s/s (also m/s^2). 1 kg m/s^2 = 1 Newton (N).Example: What is the net force if a 6.0 kg mass is accelerated at 4.0 m/s^2?Answer: F_net = ma = 6.0 kg x 4.0 m/s^2 = 24 kg m/s^2 = 24 N
If you know an object's mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object true or false?
This is true. Newton's 2nd law gives us the equation F_net = ma, where m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in m/s/s (also m/s^2). 1 kg m/s^2 = 1 Newton (N).Example: What is the net force if a 6.0 kg mass is accelerated at 4.0 m/s^2?Answer: F_net = ma = 6.0 kg x 4.0 m/s^2 = 24 kg m/s^2 = 24 N

What is measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
equation for total acceleration (ta) between two objects:ta = (G*(m1+m2))/d^2G= 6.67*10^-11m1= mass , object 1m2= mass , object 2d = distancethe acceleration is shared, in ratio proportional to masses, example:if mass 1 = 100 kg and mass 2 = 10 kg then total = 110 kga(mass 1) = ta * 100/110a(mass 2) = ta * 10/110the greater mass causes the greater acceleration in the other object(adding the following)above should read:a(mass 1) = ta * 10/110a(mass 2) = ta * 100/110if the distance is say 0.5 metres, the the total acceleration is 2.936*10^-8then the acceleration on the 10 kg mass = 2.669 * 10^-8 (m/s)/sso f= maso f =2.669 * 10^-7 newtonsthen the acceleration on the 100kg mass = 0.2669 * 10^-8 (m/s)/sso f= m*aso f = 2.669 * 10^-7 newtonsthere's a quicker way of doing the whole thing:use f= (G * m1 * m2)/ d^2same masses and distancef = 2.669 * 10^-7 newtonssorry about that
What is the force of gravity like on Jupiter compared to the Earth's gravitational force?
Gravity is always dependent on the mass of the objects involved. Earth's mass is 5.98 * 10^24 Jupiter's mass is 1900 * 10^24 (Note: '^' symbol means "to the power of", ie 10^24 means a '1' followed by 24 zeros). Oh, and I found these figures on the website "http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/ast99/ast99227.htm" So because both values have 10^24 as their order of magnitude we can simply compare 5.98 to 1900... 1900 / 5.98 = 317.72blahblahblah So the effect of the gravitational force on Jupiter will feel like it is roughly 318 times as stronger as that on earth.
What is the gravitational force between a mass of 20kg and a mass of 100kg that are 15meters apart?
If we assume the "planet" is Earth, we can calculate the gravitational force at roughly 196 N (20x9.8 = 196). This assumes that the object is close enough to the surface that the change in distance between now and when it impacts the planet surface is negligible (which, if it is already falling at 10 m/sec it probably would be) so that we can use standard gravitational acceleration as a reasonable estimate in calculating the force. Note that the velocity at which it is falling is irrelevant in calculating the gravitational attraction. As noted in the expert answer though, the question is posed with too many undefined important variables to give a definitive answer without making a lot of assumptions.
