The force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity is known as weight.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body.

The formula is :

W =mg

Here,

W is the weight or force acting on the body. m is the mass of the body, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since weight is also a force, so its SI unit is also newton. The value of weight varies from place to place depending on the gravity. Its value can also be equal to zero.

What is the force of a 24.52 kg Television dropped on Pluto (acceleration of 0.59 m/s2)

inna [77]

The force of gravity on the object is 14.47 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object (which is the force of gravity experienced by an object) at a certain location is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity at the location of the object

IN this problem, we have:

m = 24.52 kg (mass of the object)

$g=0.59 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity on Pluto)

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the object:

$F=(24.52)(0.59)=14.47 N$

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?

Lady_Fox [76]

This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.
