The force the other team will have to overcome to win is the sum of the forces exerted by you and your friend, which is 3 newtons + 8 newtons = 11 newtons. So, the other team will have to exert a force greater than 11 newtons to win the tug of war.

It would be 12 newton's because the first team has the force of 11 newton's so, the second team would need 12 newton's to win.

How many newtons is 100 kilos?

100 kg equates to about 980.665 Newtons of force on Earth.


How much work is done over 10 meters if the force is 600 newtons?

For a constant force, work = force x distance. In other words, just multiply the two. The answer is in joules.


How do you convert 9454400640000000000 Newtons to Joules?

Newtons are a measure of force, joules are a measure of energy. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic rules of dimensional analyses, attempting to convert from one to the other is not valid.


What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.


How do you convert displacement in mL to newtons?

You can't. The question asks for a conversion of a volume to a force. Without other assumptions, no answer is possible. Yes you can, there has to be a way because it is a question on one of my tests. It says What would 2570 ml of water = in Newtons

Is mass the measure of force of gravity?

No. The force of gravity is measured in newtons, like any other force.


What is the meaning of resistance force?

Resistance force is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine. Resistance force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or in pound-force. Resistance force is used to calculate the work output using the equation: Work output = Resistance force * resistance distance


Two forces act on the same object. One force is pushing due east with a force of 6 newtons and the other is pushing due north at 8 newtons. What is the resulting force?

10 newtons NE. a little more north than east


What the units of force?

The SI Unit for force is the newton (N) and the CGS unit is the dyne.


How much force needed to overcome the gravity force in air for 1 kg?

Anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, the gravitational force pulling the earth and 1 kg of mass together is roughly 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds). In order to prevent the earth and the 1 kg mass from moving toward each other, at least that amount of force or more must be exerted in the opposite direction.


What are 5 examples of unbalanced forces?

Anything that is accelerating or decelerating because it is only balanced when something is moving at a constant speed.


When 2 or more forces cancel their effect?

When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved. If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.

What is the unit of measure of force and how is it related to other measurement units?

the unit is newton and it is 1/10 of a kilogram


What are examples of balanced force and unbalanced force?

Examples: Balanced: Two kids are playing tug of war. They are both exerting 4 Newtons of force. (Balanced forces=0 Newtons) Unbalanced: Two kids are playing tug of war. One kid is exerting 6 Newtons of force, the other is exerting 7 Newtons of force. (Unbalanced forces=1 or more Newtons difference[7N-6N=1N) Just because the forces are balanced, doesn't mean that they have to be less than the unbalanced forces. N=Newton


Describe gravity in terms of force?

gravity is the force by which the earth or any heavenly body attracts a mass towards its centre. the gravitational force depends on the mass of the heavenly body and the mass of the other body on which it acts. the gravitational force of the earth is 9.8 newtons. on a mass of 7 kgs on earth,the force would be 9.8 by 7 that is 68.6 newtons.
