1 pound = 4.4484 newtons (rounded)

1 newton = 0.2248 pound (rounded) = 3.6 ounces (rounded)

I don't know how big your grapefruits are, and tempted though I am,

I don't think it's wise to pursue that line of inquiry.

Is the force to lift a medium size stone greater than a newton?

no it inst because a newton and force is part of gravity


How is it true that that if earth pulls on a grapefruit with a force of 1 newton the grapefruit also exerts a force of 1 newton on Earth?

It is true. Such forces always come in pairs. (This is related to Conservation of Momentum.) Of course, the effect of such a force on the Earth - the amount Earth accelerates, if you release the grapefruit - will be much less than the effect on the grapefruit (by Newton's Second Law).

What is Isacc newton laws of motion?

According to Newton's first law...An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.This law is often called"the law of inertia".According to Newton's second law...Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).According to Newton's third law...For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action

When are newtons used to measure?

One newton (N) is equal to the amount of force needed to move 1 kilogram of substance one centimeter per second. This unit of measure can be useful when measuring the amount of force medium to large sized objects experience.


Newton's laws of motion in lamens terms?

anything at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon an equal or greater force


What is newton's second law on motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. So the greater the net force, the greater the acceleration, and the smaller the mass, the greater the acceleration. a = F/m This equation is often written as F = ma.


Newtons are units to use when measuring?

One newton (N) is equal to the amount of force needed to move 1 kilogram of substance one centimeter per second. This unit of measure can be useful when measuring the amount of force medium to large sized objects experience.


What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of 1 ms-2 on a ball of mass 1kg?

One Newton would be needed.


Which is the greater force 10 newtons or 5 pounds?

A 10 newton force is approximately 2.25 pounds-force, so the 5 pound force is greater.
