Here's a neat trick. If your average ceramic bowl has a mass of 200 g, what is the difference in Newtons between the weight of the bowls on the top of her head before and after she does the trick?
To find the difference in Newtons between the weight of the bowls before and after the trick, we need to know the specific trick being performed. Without that information, let's assume that the trick involves adding more ceramic bowls to the top of the person's head.
First, we need to calculate the weight of a single ceramic bowl. Weight is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².
Weight = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity
Weight = 200 g * (9.8 m/s² / 1000 g)
Weight = 1.96 N
Now, let's say the person adds a total of 3 bowls to the top of their head during the trick. To find the difference in Newtons, we need to calculate the weight before and after the trick.
Weight before the trick: 1 bowl * 1.96 N/bowl = 1.96 N
Weight after the trick: 4 bowls * 1.96 N/bowl = 7.84 N
The difference in Newtons between the weight before and after the trick is:
7.84 N - 1.96 N = 5.88 N
So, the difference in Newtons between the weight of the bowls on the top of the person's head before and after the trick is 5.88 N.
