Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.
The feather's weight is . . .
On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>
On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>
The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
The answer is A
Explanation: the conservation of matter means that the mass stays the same
Answer:
I got you.. i'm in middle school and had that same question.
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The vertical distance traveled is
s = 25 m
The initial vertical launch velocity is zero.
Therefore
s = (1/2)*g*t²
where g = 9.8 m/s²
t = the time of flight, s
That is,
0.5*9.8*t² = 25
t² = 25/4.9 = 5.102
t = 2.26 s
Answer: 2.26 s
