How much force do you push down on the Earth with? (Hint: 1kg is about 2 pounds).​

The force with which I push down on the Earth is PRECISELY equal to the force with which the Earth pushes UP on me.  

I weigh EXACTLY the same amount on the Earth as the Earth weighs on me.  Find THAT amount, and you'll have the answer to the question.

(Hint:  1 kg is a mass, and 2 pounds is a force, so they can never be equal.  1kg weighs about 2.2 pounds IF it happens to be on Earth.  But if the same 1kg is on the Moon, then it weighs about 5.8 ounces.  And if it happens to be on Mars, then it weighs about 13.3 ounces.  The same kilogram weighs different weights in different places.)

On a good day, I push down on the Earth with about 890 Newtons of force.  No matter how hard I try, I can never push more or less than that.

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 1)

q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future
marshall27 [118]
Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)
