Gravitational force =mass x 9.8m/s2 what is the force of a polar bear weighing 1500kg?
1500 * 9.8 Newtons down and if he is sitting quietly 1500* 9.8 N up from the ice on his frozen fur.
ahh, which comes out to zero if he is not accelerating up or down :)
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object, we can use the equation:
Gravitational force = mass x acceleration due to gravity
In this case, the mass of the polar bear is given as 1500 kg and the acceleration due to gravity, on Earth, is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Plugging in these values into the equation, we can calculate the gravitational force acting on the polar bear.
Gravitational force = 1500 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Now, all that's left is to calculate the product of 1500 kg and 9.8 m/s^2:
Gravitational force = 14700 N (newtons)
Therefore, the gravitational force acting on a polar bear weighing 1500 kg would be approximately 14,700 Newtons.
