With no speed listed, is it possible? If so, what would 200 N be converted to KG?

if you eat enough fig newtons you will gain weight

Newtons is a unit of force and weight is a force so there is no conversion from "newtons to weight." If you want to convert from weight (newtons) to mass (kg) you need to divide by the accerleration of gravity as weight is the force caused by an objects gravitational attraction to the Earth.

Newtons are a unit of force that you get when you multiply kilgrams and acceleration. Therefore, newtons are a measure of weight, and KGs are a measure of mass. Since weight and mass are different things, you can't convert them into each other.

However, there is a formula giving the relationship between Newtons and KGs. Here it is:

1N=1KG * 1 m/s^2
Force=mass times acceleration

most answers states correctly dat u gotta divide newton by acceleration to get mass. however to correctly calculate gravitional acceleration, or g, its not a universal 9.81 but rather is derived from Gm/r a fomula where G is the universal gravitional constant, m is the mass of the attracting mass, ie earth, and r is th radius of the point of the object to the centre of the earth.

divide by gravity ~10.
200N on earth is ~20 Kg.
on the moon, it has to be more heavy (in kg) to produce as much newton force.
200N on moon is 200/1.6 = 125kg.
So, if you lifted a 125kg weight on the moon, it would feel like a 20kg weight on earth.

You can't, not without speed.

A little known fact, however, is that Google will do most units conversions for you. Try entering the following in Google to see what I mean:

130 lbs in kg

you eat the fig newtons and you put on weight

gravity= 9.80

so if u divide it can be converted

divide by 9.81 which is the acceleration due to gravity.
