We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

According to Newton's Third Law, what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing
Elenna [48]

The equal and opposite reaction to the gravitational force of the Earth pulling down on a man standing on the beach is the gravitational force of the man pulling up on the Earth. <em>(A)</em>

To put it in other words ... which should begin to blow your mind if you just take a moment to think about them ...

Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.

Find the value of 15.0 N in pounds. Use the conversions 1slug=14.59kg and 1ft=0.3048m. Express your answer in pounds to three si
kotykmax [81]

Given the equivalent value to convert the units from kilograms to slug and feet to meters, we will proceed to define the equivalence of the 'Newton' in simplified units, that is,

1N=1kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}

Then,

15.0N=15.0kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}

Converting this value to British units we have that

15N = 15.0kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2} (\frac{1slug}{14.59kg})(\frac{1ft}{0.3048m})

15N = 3.37 slug \cdot ft \cdot s^{-2} (\frac{1 lb \cdot ft^{-1}}{1slug})

15N =3.37lb

Therefore the value of 15.0 N in pounds is 3.37 lb.
