Your new motorcycle weighs 2450 N. What is
its mass in kilograms?

i understand the answer is 250kg because mass times gravity thing but why isn’t the answer negative cause gravity pulls down so wouldn’t be Negative answer not a positive answer

i was taught FW is always negative why isn’t it negative here

Along wire of diameter 1 mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature ∞ 31°c. the wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 ω/m. if a current of 103 a flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500 w/m2·k, what is the steady-state temperature of the wire? from the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature that is within 1°c of the steady-state value? the properties of the wire are 8000 kg/m3, 500 j/kg·k, and 20 w/m·k.
