How do you convert Kg's to Newtons?

You don't convert kilograms to newtons.  By the time you've heard of these units, you know that 'kilogram' is a unit of mass, 'newton' is a unit of force or weight, and that mass and weight are different things.

Mass and force are <u>related</u> by Newton's second law: 

                       Force = Mass x acceleration .

From this simple formula, you can see that in order to relate a mass to a force, you need to know an acceleration.  And if the acceleration changes, then the relationship between the force and the mass also changes.  So there's no direct conversion.

ON EARTH ONLY, one kilogram of mass <em>weighs</em> 9.8 newtons. The acceleration that connects them is the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  In other places, with different gravitational accelerations, 1 kilogram weighs more or less newtons.

But they don't convert directly.  That would be like asking "How do you convert miles to miles-per-hour ?"

The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

\sf \implies KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 6.8 \times  {5}^{2}

\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}}  \times  \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?
storchak [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}
