Weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (100 kg) x (1.62 m/s^2) = 162 newtons.

Why do transformers hum? Transformer noise is caused by a phenomenon which causes a piece of magnetic sheet steel to extend itself when magnetized. When the magnetization is taken away, it goes back to its original condition. This phenomenon is scientifically referred to as magnetostriction.

After the big bang, atoms in gas clouds experienced a greater gravitational pull to each other than atoms in other regions of th
allsm [11]
Answer:
These are the two statements with scientific facts that explain the described phenomenon
<span>
Gravitation between two objects increases when the distance between them decreases.</span>

When the mass of an object increases, its gravitational pull also increases.

Justification:

Those two facts are represented in the Universal Law of Gravity discovered by the scientific Sir Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727) and published in his book <span>Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.</span>

That law is represented by the equation:

F = G × m₁ × m₂ / d²

The product of the two masses on the numerator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, which is that as the masses increase the attraction also increase.

The term d² (square of the distance that separates the objects) in the denominator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance; that is as the separation of the objects increase the gravitational force decrease.

A person on earth would weigh a lot more on the sun due to increased ________________. gravity mass atoms energy
klemol [59]
A person on Earth would weigh a lot more on the sun due to increased gravity.

The sun is a massive object as compared to the sun. It is assumed that the gravity must be a lot greater as well. It is the strong gravitational pull of the sun that keeps our planets from drifting off into space. No matter where you are the mass of an object will remain constant, so will the energy and the number of atoms they hold. 

The answer is gravity.
