A Newton is not a measure of weight. It is a measure of force- the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second per second.

What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 147 Newtons?

Approximately 15kg or 33.07 pounds.


What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 147 Newtons and acceleration of 9.8?

w= mg rearrange equation w/g=m so 147/9.8 = m


How to find the weight of a 15 kg rock Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms2?

Weight in a certain place = (mass of the object) x (acceleration of gravity in that place)Weight of that rock, on Earth = (15 kg) x (9.8 meters/sec2) = 147 newtons

What is gravity like on your planet using your mass in kg?

On my planet a man with a mass of 90 kg has a weight that is also 90 kg. On the Moon the same 90 kg man has a weight of 15 kg because the Moon is smaller and has less gravity. We distinguish between mass (amount of matter) and weight (a downward force) so that mass stays the same wherever the man is, even if his weight changes. Since Isaac Newton's time we know that force is equal to mass times acceleration, and the unit of force is defined technically as the force that accelerates a mass of 1 kg by 1 metre per second, every second. That amount of force is a Newton. If a 1-kg mass is dropped it will accelerate downwards at 9.806 metres per second per second, therefore the force on it is 9.806 Newtons. So the weight of a 90 kg man is technically described as 90 x 9.806 Newtons, in other words 882 Newtons. On the Moon his mass is still 90 kg but his weight is now only 147 Newtons.


How much would you weigh on a new planet when the gravity is 15 times as strong as the gravity on earth and you weighed 100 pounds on earth?

It depends what you mean by weight. When we speak, we erroneously use the word weight for describing mass. The mass (or inertial mass in this case) is the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration and its unit is kilograms. The mass is an intrinsic propriety of an object which never changes. Hence, your mass is always the same, it does not matter where you are. When we talk about weight we talk about the gravitational force which every object with mass is subject to. The weight takes into account the acceleration derived from the gravitational pull of any given body. The wight is measured in Newtons and it is calculated by multiplying the mass by the acceleration derived from the gravitational field: w=mg The unit for weight is Newtons. The acceleration g on earth is approximately 9.8 m s-2 . This value is related to the mass of the object which creates the gravitational field. In other words, your weight (expressed in Newtons) depends on the environment. An object whose mass is 100 Kilograms weights on earth approximately 980 Newtons (w=100 Kg X 9.8 m s-2). If we move the same object to this new planet, on which the gravitational field is 15 times the terrestrial gravitational field its mass will still be 100 Kg but its weight will increase dramatically to 14,700 Newtons (w=100 Kg x 147 m s-2). As for the the 100 pound object described in the question, we have to convert first pounds into kilograms and then we can calculate its weight on this new planet as well: 100 pounds= approx. 45 Kilograms On the new planet its mass will still be 45 Kilograms (exactly as on earth). Its weight on earth is 441 Newtons (w= 45 Kg X 9.8 m s-2). Its weight on the new planet will be 6,615 Newtons (w= 45 Kg X 147 m s-2). If we want to use English engineering units and we accept 100 pounds as a measure of mass we can simply say that the 100 pound object would wight 1,500 pounds-force on the new planet.


What is the acceleration due to gravity at a location where a 15.0-kilogram mass weighs 45.0 newtons?

If you divide 45 / 15, you get 3 Newtons per kilogram. That is the same as 3 meters per second square.If you divide 45 / 15, you get 3 Newtons per kilogram.

What is the mass in grams of 147 mL of ethanol?

The density of ethanol at 20 deg C and normal presure is 0.789 g/mL.So the mass of 147 mL is 147*0.789 = 116.0 grams (approx).The density of ethanol at 20 deg C and normal presure is 0.789 g/mL.So the mass of 147 mL is 147*0.789 = 116.0 grams (approx).The density of ethanol at 20 deg C and normal presure is 0.789 g/mL.So the mass of 147 mL is 147*0.789 = 116.0 grams (approx).The density of ethanol at 20 deg C and normal presure is 0.789 g/mL.So the mass of 147 mL is 147*0.789 = 116.0 grams (approx).


How much work is done by the force of gravity when a 15 kilogram rock falls off a bridge 20 meters high?

Work is equal to force times distance. Force in this case is the weight of the block: 15kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 147.15 N The distance is 20 meters. 147.15 N times 20 metres is = 2943 J


What is the mass of a falling rock if it hits the ground with a force of 200 N?

Force = mass x g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8m/s2)To find mass, manipulate the equation such thatmass = Force/g = -147N/-9.8m/s2 = 15kgThe force and g are negative because they act in a downward direction.The mass is in kg because a Newton is a kg*m/s2.
