At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s

urface of the earth. In this problem, use 9.80 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on earth. What is its mass on the earth's surface?

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

If a wave traveling through air decreases its wavelength by half, describe what happens to the wave speed and frequency.
natka813 [3]
The frequency, the speed and the wavelength of a wave are related by the following equation:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda} (1)
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
v is the wave speed

The speed of the wave does depend only on the properties of the medium, so since the wave is still traveling in air, the medium has not changed and therefore the speed remains the same. We see instead from eq.(1) that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so if the wavelength is decreased by half, we see that the frequency will double.

Which part of the female reproductive system produces ova?
vovangra [49]
A would be the best answer beacuse
Ovaries - small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs (ova - an ovum is one egg, ova means multiple eggs.) The ovaries also produce the main female sex hormones which are released into the bloodstream.

What happens to water when it changes to ice?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Its density decreases, and its volume increases

Explanation:

Density is defined as Mass/Volume. What happens when water transforms into ice is that its density decreases because the volume the molecules now occupy increases.

The denominator of the rational expression \frac{Mass}{Volume} is now larger (while the numerator stays the same), so the quotient gives a smaller number.

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?
Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it.  Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s  ==>  (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out.  If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is:  You need to remember the formula !

The formula is        D = 1/2 a T²

                   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

             Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                                  =        (18 m/s)            /        (12 sec)
                                  =                      1.5 m/s² .

                  Distance  =  (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
                                  =       (0.75 m/s²)  x  (144 sec²)  =  108 meters .
