Mass x Force of gravity = Weight

Weight is a force.

On Earth, the force due to gravity is ~9.81 N/Kg. So an object of 100 Kg will have a weight of ~981 N

Force of gravity is what we call "weight".

It's the product of (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity).

On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is about 9.81 meters per second-squared.
It's different in other places.  Example: It's about 1.62 on the Moon.

So the weight of any mass on Earth is (9.81) x (the mass), in Newtons.
The weight of the <u>SAME mass</u> on the Moon is (1.62) x (the mass), in Newtons.

Which is the correctly balanced equation for the reaction of rust, Fe2O3, and hydrochloric acid, HCl?
Mariana [72]

Answer: Option (c) is correct answer.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

          Fe_{2}O_{3} + HCl \rightarrow FeCl_{3} + H_{2}O

The number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • Fe = 2
  • O = 3
  • H = 1
  • Cl = 1

The number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • Fe = 1
  • O = 1
  • H = 2
  • Cl = 3

Therefore, in order to balance the equation we will balance the number of atoms in both reactant and product side.

Since number of Fe atoms in reactant side is 2, therefore, multiply FeCl_{3} by 2 in the product side.

Number of O atoms in reactant side is 3, therefore, multiply H_{2}O by 3 in the product side.

Now, the number of H atoms on product side is 6, therefore, multiply HCl by 6 in the reactant side.

The number of chlorine atoms on both reactant and product side equals 6.

Thus, the equation will become as follows.

             Fe_{2}O_{3} + 6HCl \rightarrow 2FeCl_{3} + 3H_{2}O

Hence, the equation is balanced.

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

A person of mass m is standing on the surface of the Earth, of mass M E . What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences du
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}
