A box sitting still on the ground by itself has a Normal Force of 700N, what is the mass? (gravity’s acceleration is 9.80 m/s²)

 71.43 kilograms

This value is approximate rounded to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The ground is pushing up with a normal force of 700 N. Because the box is sitting still, this means the force of gravity is pulling the box down with a force of 700N to keep things balanced.

If the force of gravity was greater than 700N, then the box would fall through the ground. If the force of gravity was smaller than 700N, then the box would be accelerated upward. Since neither event is happening, the force of gravity must be equal to the normal force.

Now turn to Newton's second law which says

F = ma

where F is the force, m is the mass and 'a' is the acceleration. We're given the acceleration of gravity is roughly 9.80 m/s^2. So a = 9.80

The force we'll plug in is F = 700. The value of m is unknown, but we can solve for it as such

F = ma

700 = m*9.80

700 = 9.08m

9.80m = 700

m = 700/9.80

m = 71.4285714285714

m = 71.43

The mass is roughly 71.43 kilograms.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.
