The SI unit of weight is a Newton?

It tell us the mass of the object is experiencing a downward force by some large objects, lets say the earth?

Can we regard a weight of an object as a newton

What’s the difference of lbs and a Newton?

Thank you

Answer #2

Yes, we can regard weight of an object as a Newton since weight of an object is nothing but the gravitational force which is acting on the object, proportional to its weight and defined as a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity a acting on the object. Whose unit is Newton itself, so it is a valid statement.

Lbs is the another unit of mass(for pounds) , moreover Pounds is a measurement of total matter contained in a body, just like kilogram it is also a unit of mass( 1 pound =0.45 kg)

Whereas the newton is the standard unit for force.

A) in the SI system, the unit of measurement for weight is the: slug; kilogram (kg); pound (lb); newton (N). B) Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion states that acceleration will be greatest if: the object’s mass is small and the applied force is large; the object’s mass is small and the applied force is small; the object’s mass is large and the applied force is large; the object’s mass is large and the applied force is small.

9. Object #1 has mass m; object #2 has mass 10m. They are separated by the distance d. We can conclude that: Object 1 exerts greater gravitational force on object 2, than object 2 exerts on 1. Object 1 exerts smaller gravitational force on object 2, than object 2 exerts on 1. Object 1 exerts on object 2 gravitational force equal in magnitude to force eqerted by 2 on 1. Our answer depends on distance d. 10. Consider two objects:...

An object has a velocity of 10m/s and a mass of 1kg. After traveling some distance, the object now has a velocity of 100m/s and a mass of 1kg. What is the work being done on the object? Can you tell me what force made this? Can you tell me the distance traveled by the object What does it mean, that the object has kinetic energy equal to 5000 joules?

An object with a mass of 10.0 kg is falling under the effect of gravity near the earth's surface with negligible air resistance. There is a force of 55 N pushing it to the left (you can pretend that this force is due to wind if that helps). What is the magnitude and direction of the total force felt by the object? Note: if the magnitude is greater than 140 N then you have done this problem wrong and you...

1.) Why do some objects fall faster than others near the surface of the earth if all mass is attracted equally by the force of gravity? A. Some objects fall faster because of air resistance, which acts in the direction of the motion of the object and exerts more force on objects with less surface area. B. Some objects fall faster because of air resistance, which acts in the direction opposite the motion of the object and exerts more force...

We are currently learning about drag forces and air resistance. My professor asked us to "argue to the v 2 dependence for turbulent flow by considering a falling object of cross sectional area A, speed v and mass M. Assume the air molecules have mass m, density ρ. You can then derive the force on the object in terms of A, ρ and v. " she gave us these hints: turbulent flow formula: F = 1/2 πρCd*r^2 *v^2 Air molecules...
