The third: every action has an equal and opposite reaction (in the simplest terms). The backpack is exerting a downwards force on the person, and the person balances this by exerting an upwards force on the backpack. If the forces weren't equal, the backpack would either fall to the ground or float above the person.

The net force applied downward to the ground would be 495 newtons (450 N from your weight + 45 N from the backpack). This is because weight is a force that acts downward due to gravity, so the forces from your weight and the backpack both contribute to the total downward force.

How many newtons does a 5-kg backpack weigh on earth?

First of all, I will tell you the quick and easy way to find the answer. The equation is 9.8 multiplied by 5. You always use the number 9.8 because that is the measurement of Earth's gravity. You use the number 5 because that is the mass of the object you are measuring. That number changes depending on the object's mass. A 5kg backpack would weigh 49 Newtons on Earth. Good luck with science or whatever you needed this for!!
