How does weight change as the gravitational acceleration changes and why?

Physics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
4 0

Answer

The correct formula for weight is F = m*g where g is the gravitational acceleration.

All over the earth's surface, g is slightly different. The mass does not change no matter where you are. We should be measuring out weights in Newtons, not in kg. So the unit of weight in the metric system is 9.8 about * mass in kg.

Stop reading. This is your answer.

============

Notes

It was hard enough to get people to change over to kg never mind newtons. Canada, which is on the metric system, still gives the price of food in pounds. Or if not, in grams if the container is small enough.

Cashews cost 19$ Canadian per 906 grams which is roughly 2 pounds.

Oranges are $1.27 a pound and that is the way they are listed in Walmart.

10 pounds of potatoes are 4.95 dollars.

I'm sure you get the point. We use kg for certain things and retain pounds for others.

Write the equation that links current, potential difference, and resistance
mrs_skeptik [129]

You can write the equation in 3 different ways, depending on which quantity you want to be the dependent variable.  Any one of the three forms can be derived from either of the other two with a simple algebra operation.  They're all the same relationship, described by "Ohm's Law".

==> Current = (potential difference) / (resistance)

==> Potential difference = (current) x (resistance)

==> Resistance = (potential difference) / (resistance)

How does the balloon react to the cloth item?
almond37 [142]

Answer: When rubbing a balloon with a wool cloth, it puts negative charges on the balloon. Negative charges attract to positive charges. If a balloon is not rubbed with the wool cloth, it has an equal amount of negative to positive charges, so it will attract to a rubbed balloon.

Answer:

45000 kg and 45 tons  

Explanation:

The expression in kilograms and tons is shown below;

As we know that

1 gr is 0.001 kg

So, 45000000 = 45,000 kg

And,

1 kg = 0.001 tons  

So, 45000 kg = 45 tons    

Therefore the same would be considered
