Use the formula,
to answer. We need the Mass, which is weight divided by acceleration. So, let's solve for F (force):
Plug in known values:
Solve:
Then, since we need mass, assuming we are on Earth, and there are no neutron stars, or anything like that close by, we can divide the weight by acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) to get the mass:
Simplify:
1. When the object is waiting to be released, it is storing a lot of potential energy. When it is released, the potential energy that was once stored is converted into kinetic energy.
Adaptation is when a living thing changes its behavior to survive in its surroundings.
