One of Isaac newton's most important contributions was determining the three laws of physics. His first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and same direction unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Some examples of this law are below.

1. When a car is going and suddenly stops, the passengers will move forward.

2. When a pilot turns the plane and the passengers will want to stay the same direction so it feels like they got pulled the opposite way.

3. When a coffee mug gets left on a car and then the driver speeds away, the cup will want to stay at rest so it will slide off the back of the car.

The vector sum of 3 newtons and 4 newtons?

It depends on the angle between the two forces. It can be anything from 1 newton (if they're acting in exactly opposite directions) to 7 newtons (if they're acting in exactly the same direction).


How many newtons are on a scale of 5 newtons?

the two quantities are different - 5kg indicates the mass of the object, ie how much stuff it contains, a newton is a force, in this case a weight (a force produced by gravity, the mutual attraction of two objects with mass). The weight produced by 5kg depends on g, which is a function of how massive the other object is and how far away you are from its center. Assuming you mean 'how many newtons is 5kg on the surface of earth', g is about 9.81. To get the weight (in newtons) from the mass (in kg) all you do is multiply by g - so 5kg by 9.81 roughly equals 49 newtons. The apparent weight may be less than this. If you only want a rough estimate, then if we approximate the g from 9.81 to 10, then the force (in Newtons) is almost equal to the mass (in kg) multiplied by 10. Therefore 5kg is almost 50N (but actually less than 50). It is not accurate but it gives you an idea of the magnitude.


What is the force on on kg object accelerating 0-5 in25 seconds?

A force is not measured in kilograms. The kilogram is a unit of mass; forces are measured in newtons. You can get the force with Newton's Second Law. In this problem, you will need some additional information, specifically, the object's mass.


When mass is 5 kg and accelaration is 25ms-2 what will be the force?

When Using Newtons Laws you get: F=m*a=5 kg*25 m/s2=125 N

If 5 newtons of force are pulling on 5 newtons of force?

If 5 newtons of force are pulling against another 5 newtons of force in opposite directions, there will be a net force of 0 newtons, resulting in no movement or acceleration. The forces are balanced and cancel each other out.

A baby pushes a toy across the floor with a force of 5 Newtons Which is this an example of?

This is an example of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The baby exerts a force on the toy (action), and in response, the toy exerts an equal force back on the baby (reaction), causing the toy to move across the floor.

What is 5.0 pounds converted to newtons?

Pounds do not convert into Newtons. Pounds are a measure of weight, and Newtons are a measure of force. However, there is also a unit of force called the pound-force, and 1 Newton is 0.22481 lbF.So, 5 lbF would be 5/0.22481 N or about 22 N.Protip: You can always ask Google "What is X units in other_units" and it will do the conversion for you. (Example: "What is 5 pounds in newtons" or "What is 3 quarts in liters")


Which is the greatest force 10pounds 10 kilograms 10 newtons 50newtons?

A force of 9.8 N is the force exerted on a 1 kilogram mass at rest by the force of Earth's gravity at sea level. So 10 N is the force of about a 1.02 kg mass (approximately 2.25 pounds force)This is a scalar measurement.
