The mass of the box is 8.5 kg.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body.

To calculate the mass of the box, we use the formula

Formula:

  • F = mgμ............. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the box
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • μ = coefficient of friction

Make m the subject of the equation

  • m = F/gμ..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 25 N
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • μ = 0.3

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • m = 25/(0.3×9.8)
  • m = 25/2.94
  • m = 8.5 kg

Hence, the mass of the box is 8.5 kg.

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

W = mg

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

W_{x} = mg_{x}

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}

g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}

<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>

cluponka [151]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

We can look at this problem as a triangle, r is the hypotenuse so if we take the square root of 6^2+8^2 we get 10
