a bee flies into a window at a force of 250N. gravity has a effect on the bee. What is the weight of the bee?

Answer 1

I think you also need to know the speed of the bee to do the calculation.

Answer 2

If a bee hits a window with 250N of force, it is no longer a bee, it is goo. A Newton is a kilogram meter per second squared. A child weighing 25 Kg, or about 55 lbs is applying 250N of force to its feet when it stands, enough to crush a bee even though the force is distributed over a larger suface area.

Answer 3

The weight force is he force with which the earth attracts the bee. According to Newton's universal gravitational law this amounts to
W=G(Mm/r squared E) ( you will need to look at equations in your book to get the correct way to write this. Can't use symbols or subscript here.)
where
G=6.67x10raised to -11 Nxm squared/kg squared,
the universal gravitational constant.
M=5.98x10 raised to 24 kg
is the mass of the earth and the radius of the earth.
r squared E = 6.37 x10 raised to 6.
m is the mass of the bee in this case. In the above equation the terms
G(Mm/r squared E)
comes to the same amount for all objects on the surface of the earth (well more or less due to some minor complicating factors). If you check the units of this calculation you will end up with
kg x m/s squared x kg.
which comes to the units of an acceleration. This acceleration quantity is normally indicated with the symbol g in physics and called the acceleration due to gravity. The weight force therefore becomes
W=gm.
for any object on the surface of the earth.
