how do i draw a diagram to show the meaning of the term newton? Use the 1-kg mass in the drawing. It must show the gravitational pull
To draw a diagram that shows the meaning of the term "newton" and illustrates the gravitational pull, you can follow these steps:
1. Materials needed:
- Paper
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Compass (optional)
2. Draw a horizontal line across the middle of the paper to represent the ground or a surface.
3. Draw a vertical line at the left side of the horizontal line to represent a support or reference point.
4. At the top of the vertical line, draw a small circle to represent a 1-kg mass. You can use a compass or estimate the size.
5. Label the circle as "1 kg" to indicate the mass.
6. Draw a downward arrow from the center of the circle to represent the force of gravity. This arrow should extend below the horizontal line.
7. Label the arrow as "gravitational force" or "weight" to indicate the force acting on the mass due to gravity.
8. Next, draw a horizontal arrow pointing to the right, starting from the top of the vertical line. This arrow represents the applied force.
9. Label the arrow as "force" or "applied force" to indicate the force that is being exerted on the 1-kg mass.
10. Finally, draw a dotted line starting from the top of the vertical line and connecting to the applied force arrow. Label this line as "newton" to represent the unit of force.
Remember that the gravitational pull, indicated by the downward arrow, is equal to the weight of the 1-kg mass, which is approximately 9.8 newtons on Earth's surface.
By following these steps, you can draw a diagram that shows the meaning of the term "newton" and visually represents the gravitational pull acting on a 1-kg mass.
