A hammer has a mass of 1.7kg. How much does it weigh?

17 N

Explanation:

Weight is a force. The equation to calculate a force is:

where a is the acceleration of the object. On an object simply existing, the force of gravity adds an acceleration of 9.8m/s², or approximately 10m/s². So, to calculate the force of weight, we simply multiply the mass by 10 for that reason:

Forces are measured in Newtons (N) so the answer is 17 N.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
