Question

Let's examine over the next few questions an NFL kick as described in the 3rd Law video. The announcer claimed that the ball is struck with "almost a ton of force." First of all, phrases like "almost a ton" drive physics people crazy. Give me a number! So let's guess-timate 1900 lbs of force. Convert that to Newtons. (you can always just Google this one)

Answer 1

Answer:

8451.62109367671 Newtons

Explanation:

$1\ kg=1\times 9.8066500286389=9.8066500286389\ N$

$1 \lb=2.2046226218488\ kg$

It is known that

$1\ lbs=\dfrac{9.8066500286389}{2.2046226218488}=4.4482216282508\ N$

So,

$1900\ lbs=1900\times 4.4482216282508\\\Rightarrow 1900\ lbs=8451.6210936765\ N$

The force in Newtons is 8451.6210936765 Newtons
