Leibniz criticized Newton as his theory of gravitation did not identify the source of the interaction between bodies. Newton's idea of an invisible force able to act over vast distances was seen to be introducing "occult agencies" into science. Leibniz preferred his own theory of spinning vortexes in a swirling invisible fluid surrounding the planets as the source of the impact.

How many newtons is 125 kilogarms?

Newtons is a measure of Force and Kilograms of mass, so this conversion only has sense for a particular gravitational field. On earth's surface a mass of 1 Kg exerts a force a force of approximately 9.8 Newtons, so 125 Kg exert a force of approximately 1225 Newtons. Using the conversion 1 Kg to 10 Newtons is also widely accepted in some fields, so you could approximate it to 1250 N


What is the unit label for weight?

The unit label for weight is typically expressed in newtons (N) in the International System of Units (SI). In some contexts, weight may also be measured in pounds (lbs) in the imperial system. Weight is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on an object, which depends on both its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


If you were far away from any planet would you be massless?

No. Mass works differently than weight. Weight differs based on gravity, mass does not. For example, if you had an object with a mass of 50 kilograms, it would weigh 491 newtons on the surface of the earth. The same object on the moon would still have a mass of 50kg, but would only weigh 81.5 newtons. At the same time, you are never far enough from any object to not experience some type of gravity, however slight it may be. So, while you could be practically weightless at some distant point in space, your mass there would be the same as it would be on Earth.


When was it that isaac newton discovered gravity?

some people say that he dropped the apple and discovred it by khalid saiyad.


Measure of the force of gravity that is expresed in newtons?

A force caused by gravity is known as a "gravitational force". It can be measured in any convenient unit of force. Many people call it "weight" and describe it in pounds or ounces.

How can you find your mass?

Weigh your self. For some reason people seem to think Stone and KG are your weight however weight does not exist, it only exists because of gravity hence must be measured in Newtons (N). See the link if you want to work out your weight from your mass.

Are hobos affected by gravity?

Some people say that hobos are affected to gravity because they are so poor that they can't even afford to stay on their feet. And some other people say that this question is silly and there is no such thing as a hobo affected by gravity.


Why did some people criticize an early plan to congress to choose the president?

They wanted the people to have a role in selecting the president. Giving the vote solely to Congress takes it much more out of the hands of the people.
