This is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.

Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N

On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.

Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.

Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.

Is a measure of how closely packed together the particles of matter are in a specific volume
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Density is an important physical property of matter. It reflects how closely packed the particles of matter are. When particles are packed together more tightly, matter has greater density.

In the flow past a compression corner, the upstream Mach number and pressure are 3.5 and 1 atm, respectively. Downstream of the
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

\theta=23.7^{\circ}

Explanation:

The ratio of pressure 2 to 1 us 5.48/1= 5.48 rounded off as 5.5.

Referring to table A.2 of modern compressible flow then M_{\beta_1}=2.2

Also

M_{\beta_1}=M_1 sin \beta and making sin\beta the subject of the formula then

sin\beta=\frac {2.2}{3.5}\\\beta=38.94^{\circ}

Making reference to \theta-\beta-M diagram then

\theta=23.7^{\circ}

The mass of an atom is
suter [353]

Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

Write a linear equation that expresses the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius (C) and degrees Fahrenheit (F
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Units Conversion </u>

The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales is well-known. But we'll use the provided data to derive the formula. Let's model the relationship between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) as a linear function like

F=mC+b

Where m and b must be computed according to the pair of conditions given. The values for each temperature scale are (C,F)=(0,32) and (100,212). Replacing the first value

32=m\times 0+b

It means that  

b=32

By using the second point

212=m\times 100+32

Solving for m

\displaystyle m=\frac{212-32}{100}=\frac{180}{100}

Simplifying

\displaystyle m=\frac{9}{5}

So, the conversion formula is

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

Which is the widely known formula for temperature conversion

Solving for C, we get the inverse relation

\boxed{\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)}

Gravitational attraction depends on the mass of the objects as well as their distance. The gravitational force between objects i
shepuryov [24]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction will be the same</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}    (1)

Where:

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

G is the universal gravitation constant.

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both bodies.

r is the distance between both bodies

Now, if we double both masses and the distance also doubles, this means:

m_{1} and m_{2} will be now 2m_{1} and 2m_{2}

r will be now 2r

Let's rewrite the equation (1) with this new values:

F=G\frac{(2m_{1})(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}    (2)

Solving and simplifying:

F=4G\frac{m_{1}2m_{2}}{4r^2}    

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}     (3)

As we can see, equation (3) is the same as equation (1).

So, if the masses both double and the distance also doubles the <u>Gravitational attraction between both masses will remain the same.</u>
