Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ? We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)
Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.
Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example: Gravity is NOT a contact force.
I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.
Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.
Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity at the place where the mass is) .
Man's mass = 80 kg
His weight on Earth = (80 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 784 newtons (about 176 pounds)
His weight on the Moon = (80 kg) x (1.63 m/s²) = <em>130.4 newtons</em> (about 29.2 pounds)
His mass is <em>80 kg</em>. Mass is the thing about him that doesn't change.
He has the same mass on the Earth, on the Moon, or anywhere.
Answer: Taxpayers
Explanation:
Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.
Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.
