A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

F_{Earth}= 15.57 N

F_{Moon}= 2.60 N

F_{Uranus}= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

F_{Earth}=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

F_{Moon}=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

F_{Uranus}=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

. (a) How long can you play tennis on the 800 kJ (about 200 kcal) of energy in a candy bar? (b) Does this seem like a long time?
galina1969 [7]

(a). The power of the candy bar is,

P=440\text{ W}

The time taken to play on 800 kJ energy of the candy bar is,

t=\frac{E}{P}

where E is the energy.

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{800\times10^3}{440} \\ t=1.818\times10^3\text{ s} \\ t=1818\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}

As 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds,

Thus,

\begin{gathered} t=1818\text{ seconds} \\ t=\frac{1818}{60} \\ t=30.3\text{ min} \end{gathered}

Thus, the time taken to play tennis on the 800 kJ energy is 30.3 minutes.

(b). By doing the exercise, the process of digestion of food inside our body increases. Thus, the exercise does not helps us to burn the calories. But it helps us to diggest the heavy meal like candy bar easily.

The time taken to digest the canndy bar or to utilise its energy is large because it takes a lot of time to burn small amount of food and make it digest quickly.

A 12,000 kg railroad car is traveling at 2 m/s when it strikes another 10,000 kg railroad car that is at rest. If the cars lock
Degger [83]

Answer:

The final speed of the railroad car

V= 1.14 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

v_{1}=2.1\frac{m}{s} \\m_{1}=12000kg\\v_{2}=0\frac{m}{s} \\m_{2}=10000kg \\v_{t}=?

m_{1}*v_{1}+m_{2}*v_{2}= (m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{t}\\v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}*v_{1}}{(m_{1}+m_{2})} \\v_{t}=\frac{12000kg*2.1\frac{m}{s} }{(12000+10000)kg} \\v_{t}=1.14 \frac{m}{s}

That's the final speed of the both railroad car
