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 planets have more mass than earth?

Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and all have more mass than Earth.


How many newtons in a lamp?

Only 1 but when he comes out he can only grant you 3.14 wishes. :) A newton is a unit of force. It's equal to 1 kg being accelerated at 1 m/s^2 Therefore the amount of "weight" an object has equal to its mass (in kg) multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2) So a 1 kg mass, has a weight of 9.8 Newtons (N) So if you're calculating the amount of Newtons in a lamp, it would depend on the mass of the lamp. If this is an electricity question ... you need units other than Newtons, as well as other information. Remember, in the metric system: mass is measured in kg, weight is measured in N. The confusing part is when using the US system in measurement where we unfortunately use pounds for both properties.

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.


How much newtons is one kilogram on Saturn?

On Saturn, one kilogram of mass weighs 9 newtons. (about 8.2% less than on earth)


How much does a ruler weight in newtons?

The weight of a ruler in newtons would depend on its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. Typically, a standard ruler would have a very small mass, so its weight in newtons would be very minimal, likely less than 1 newton.


Would you weigh more on earth than on the moon?

Yes. Your 'weight' would change, (in Newtons) but your 'mass' (in pounds, kilos, grams, tonnes, ounces etc) would not.


Is 1500 newtons greater than 400 pounds?

No,1500 newtons = 337.213415 pounds force+++To clarify that further, the Newton is a unit of Force, the pound a unit of Mass.


How do you calculate weight in newtons?

Weight in newtons equals mass in kg times gravity (which is 9.8 meters per second squared on earth) or W=m(9.8m/s/s)


How many newtons does a 10 kg box weigh?

A 10 kg box weighs a touch more than 98 newtons (98.0665002864).


What is the surface gravity on the moon in newtons?

'Newton' is a unit of force. You can't measure gravity in units of force,because we have all noticed that fat people weigh more than thin oneseven when they are all on the same planet.-- The surface gravity on Earth is 9.81 newtons per kilogram of mass.-- The surface gravity on the moon is 1.62 newtons per kilogram of mass.(1 newton per kilogram of mass) is the same thing as (1 meter per second2).That's an acceleration, which is the kind of unit to describe gravity with.


How many newtons does 10 kg box weigh?

A 10 kg box weighs a touch more than 98 newtons (98.0665002864).


Is 3.5 newtons bigger than 2.8 newtons?

Yes, 3.5 newtons is bigger than 2.8 newtons. When comparing these two values, 3.5 is greater than 2.8, indicating that 3.5 newtons represents a larger force.


How much in newtons does 0.60 kg of salami weigh?

The weight of a 0.60 kg salami would be approximately 5.88 newtons. This calculation is based on the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
