If a man weighs 900 n on the earth, what would he weigh on jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 25.9 m/s2?

<span>So, if the man weight 900 newtons on Earth then that means, using F=ma, that the mass of the man is approximately 91.84 kg. This is because 900N=m(9.8m/s^2), and so it follows that 900/9.8=91.84. Using the man's found mass we then plug this into F=ma again. It follows that F=(91.84)(25.9)=2378.57N. This means that the man "weighs" 2378.57 Newtons on Jupiter, or about 2.5x as great as his weight on Earth. This makes sense, considering that 25.9/9.8 is approximately equal to 2.64.</span>

poizon [28]

Answer:

i) 5 m/s^{2}  ii) 54 N  iii) 54 N

Explanation:

i) a = \frac{v^{2}}{r} ⇒ a = 5² ÷ 5 = 5 m/s^{2}

ii) m = \frac{W}{g} ⇒ m = 108 ÷ 10 = 10.8 kg , F = ma ⇒ F = 10.8 × 5 = 54 N

iii) F1 = F2 = 54 N

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2)

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial velocity

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

\theta=65^{\circ}

Substituting,

d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.
