On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons
BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N
Answer:
a) b) d)
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be
In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.
a)2 N; 2 N
b) 200 N; 200 N
c) 200 N; 201 N
d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N
e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N
f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N
g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N
h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N
For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces
a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force
b) 200+(-200)=0
c) 200+(-201)
0
d) 2+2+(-4)=0
e) 2+2+(-2)
0
f) 2+2+(-3)
0; 2+(-2)+3
0
g) 2+2+(-5)
0; 2+(-2)+5
0
h)200 + 200 +(-5)
0; 200+(-200)+5
0
