An average-sized apple weigh about one newton What is its mass?

There are more than 2,000 apple varieties and new varieties are becoming available each year, so not only would a true average have to be calculated for a large number of varieties, one would have to decide if the average was only to consider variety, or whether it would also consider the number of apples of each variety.
We can, however, get some idea of average mass by looking at a study from a 1995 Virginia Tech study (see link below). Listed below are average diameter in inches and average weight in pounds for those apples in the published study that gave both diameter and weight values. In some cases a range of values was given rather than a single number and in such cases, an average of that range is listed.

We next assume that the weight in pounds is very close to the pound-mass. Then from the table above we can conclude that the average mass of an apple will be about 0.2 kilograms.

What is true about an objects weight but not about its mass?
An objects weight is the amount of the pull of gravity on an object. On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter in an object. You`re mass is the same on every planet. For example, lets say on earth you weighed 100 pounds. On Venus you would weigh the same. BUT, you`re weight is different on different planets. For example, on the moon, the amount of the pull of gravity on you would be different in a way that you would be 70% lighter. Hope that helps. Adios! And no, I am NOT Spanish.(False) It would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.
Distinguish between the mass of an object and the object's weight?
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains, usually expressed in kilograms or grams. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object and is dependent on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object, while weight varies based on the gravitational pull.
What percentage of mass murderers are white males?
Approximately 56% of mass murderers in the United States are white males.
How many children are killed by mass shootings every year?
On average, approximately 30 children are killed in mass shootings in the United States each year. Mass shootings are defined as incidents where four or more people are killed by gunfire.
What is mass behavior sociology?
Mass behavior sociology is the study of how individuals within a large group or society behave and interact with each other. It explores patterns, influences, and reactions within mass gatherings, social movements, mob behavior, and collective actions. Mass behavior sociology aims to understand the dynamics of group behavior and its impact on social structures and institutions.
Why does an apple weigh 1 newton?
It's only a convenient way of remembering. An apple has a mass of about 0.1 kg and g is about 9.8 m/s/s. So F=mg. There ya' go!
How does one apple be the same as a newton?
around the same mass
If a dog has a mass 9.5 kilograms how much does it weigh?
On Earth, multiply the mass in kilogram by 9.8. Answer is in Newton.
Weight and mass on other planets?
If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.
What English scientist did an apple fall on his head and helped him to discover a physics law?
The apple didn't really hit on his head. Although it landed next to him and that's when he discover Gravity. The Gravitation of the apple but it happens to be its weight and mass
Does a dime weigh 1 newton?
No. The mass of the US dime is 2.268 grams. On Earth, that mass weighs 0.0222 newton. (rounded) -- One pound of force is about 4.448 newtons. -- One newton is about 3.6 ounces of force. -- It would take 45 dimes to weigh 1 newton on Earth.
How many Newton's does a 10kg weigh?
On earth, 10 kg of mass weighs roughly 98 newtons.
Mass of 65kg who much does he weigh on earth?
Earth's gravity is about 9.8 meters per second square, or the equivalent 9.8 Newton per kilogram - so you just multiply the mass with 9.8. Weight will be in Newton.
What does the apple have to do with gravity and the moon?
I believe that Sir Issac Newton saw an apple fall from a tree and this got him thinking about gravity and the relationships of items of different mass.
How mucg does 1 gram weigh?
On earth, 1 gram of mass weighs 0.0098 newton (0.03527 ounce).
Isaac Newton has a mass of 65 kg What is his weight?
How much did isaac newton weigh after he was born.
What is the mass of an apple weighing 1 newton on the surface of Earth?
1 newton = 1kg x 1m/s21Kg = 9.81N so....1N = 0.101971621298 kg-force
