the two quantities are different - 5kg indicates the mass of the object, ie how much stuff it contains, a newton is a force, in this case a weight (a force produced by gravity, the mutual attraction of two objects with mass). The weight produced by 5kg depends on g, which is a function of how massive the other object is and how far away you are from its center. Assuming you mean 'how many newtons is 5kg on the surface of earth', g is about 9.81. To get the weight (in newtons) from the mass (in kg) all you do is multiply by g - so 5kg by 9.81 roughly equals 49 newtons. The apparent weight may be less than this. If you only want a rough estimate, then if we approximate the g from 9.81 to 10, then the force (in Newtons) is almost equal to the mass (in kg) multiplied by 10. Therefore 5kg is almost 50N (but actually less than 50). It is not accurate but it gives you an idea of the magnitude.

∙ 9y agoMass is not equal to force. On or near the Earth's surface, 1 kg of mass weighs 9.8 newtons (about 2.2 pounds). It has different weigh in other places.

What would you use to measure newtons?
A Tubular Spring scale.
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
A spring scale measures force in newtons. It works based on Hooke's law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension or compression of the spring. The scale calculates the amount of force required to extend or compress the spring.
What do you do to measure weight?
There is only one metric system. The units used for your weight would be Newtons.
How many pounds are in 245 newtons?
To convert newtons to pounds, divide the number of newtons by 4.448. Therefore, 245 newtons is approximately 55.06 pounds.
How many newtons of force will you exert to lift 170gram weight?
A minimum of 1.667 newtons.
How many newtons are in 5 grams?
About 5mN (five milli Newtons)
What scale is used to find mass?
newtons
What does a spring g scale measure?
Newtons
How many dynes are there in 5 newtons?
5 Newton = 500,000 Dyne.
How many kilogram are in 5 Newtons?
0.51 kg
Which is a greater fource- 13 newtons or 5 newtons?
5 newton
What happends if forces are unbalanced?
Movment. Ex.> force of 10 newtons-><-force of 5 newtons movement of 5 newtons->
Are newtons weight?
Newtons are the force one object exerts on another. The weight you see on a bathroom scale is how much the scale pushes back, which equals the Newtonian force. However, mass and Newtons are different but related. Newtons is the gravitational pull multiplied by the mass. The basic equation is: (mass in grams)(9.8)=Force in Newtons 9.8 is the gravitational pull on every object on Earth.
What unit of measure is a spring scale in science?
Weight (Newtons or pounds).
What does a gram weight on a digital scale?
A gram weighs 0.0098 Newtons.
What unit dose a spring scale measure?
It measures by using newtons.
What is measuring using a spring scale?
Force. Often Measured in Newtons (N).
