The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 newt
1 answer:
The weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N
<h3>What is Newton's law of gravitation?</h3>Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.
Given data;
is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.
m is the mass of an object
is the acceleration due to gravity on pluto.
is the weight of the object on earth
is the weight of an object on pluto
The mass of the object on the earth's surface is found as;
We = m × ge
m = W / ge
m = 250 / 9.81
m = 25.51 kg
The weight of the object on pluto.
Wp = m × gp
Wp = 25.51 kg × 0.61 m/s²
Wp =15.56 N.
Hence the weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N

1) 29.8 C
At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).
2) 6.2 C
The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:
where
Substituting into the formula,
And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.
3) -40.6 C
The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:
where
Substituting into the formula,
And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.
