That's a formula that shows the relationship between three quantities ...
weight, mass, and acceleration.  If you know any two of them, then you
can use this formula to find the one you don't know.

Examples:

==>  I have a rock with 2 kilograms of mass.
        The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
        How much does my rock weigh on Earth ?

         Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
                      = (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
                                                       =  19.6 newtons
                                                  (about 4.41 pounds)

==>  My brother weighs 770 newtons (about 173 pounds) on Earth.
         What is his mass ?

                               Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                               770 newtons = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s²:           770 newtons / 9.8 m/s² = mass

                                        78.57 kilograms = mass

==> When I went to the Moon, I took along my 2-kilogram rock.
         I weighed my rock on the Moon. 
         It weighs 3.25 newtons  (about 0.73 pound) there.
         What is the gravitational acceleration on the Moon ?

                                   Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                                   3.25 newtons = (2 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  2 kilograms:        (3.25 newtons)/(2 kg)  =  acceleration

                                    1.63 m/s² = grav acceleration on the Moon

Why do tin roofs make creaking sounds on hot days?
laiz [17]

Answer: Yes, on many slate-roofed homes as temperatures change, such as cooling at night or heating during the day, thermal expansion or contraction of the slates may cause movement that in turn causes snapping, popping, or cracking noises, even bangs and clanks or clicks from the roof.

A light bulb operating at a dc voltage of 120 V has a power rating of 60 W. How much current is flowing through this bulb
densk [106]
  • Voltage=V=120V
  • Power=P=60W

  • Current=I

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A
