In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:
Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons
BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N
Answer:
Explanation:
Force = mass * acceleration.
