Mass x Force of gravity = Weight
Weight is a force.
On Earth, the force due to gravity is ~9.81 N/Kg. So an object of 100 Kg will have a weight of ~981 N
Answer: 1.51 km
Explanation:
<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.
Or, 
Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:
<u>Given:</u>
Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C
Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C
Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N
k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2
<u>So,</u>

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km
Answer:

Explanation:
Work is the product of force and distance.

We know that 96 Joules of work were done and a 16 Newton force was applied to the object.
Substitute the values into the formula.

First, let's convert the units. This will make cancelling units easier later in the problem. 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 Newton meter (N*m), so the work of 96 Joules equals 96 Newton meters.

Now, solve for distance by isolating the variable, d. It is being multiplied by 16 Newtons and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 16 N.


The units of Newtons cancel.


The object moved a distance of <u>6 meters.</u>
You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:
==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.
==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.
==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.
==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.
Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...
(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.
If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.
Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...
(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero
(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .
