A rocket has a mass 280(103) slugs on earth. Specify its mass in SI units, and its weight in SI units.

1 answer:

8 0

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conversion of units for which we will have that 1 slug is equal to 14.59kg. At the same time we will use Newton's second law for which weight is defined as the product between mass and acceleration (Due to gravity). This is then

A: Using the conversion ratio of slug to kilogram we have to,

$1 slug = 14.59kg$

Then

$m = 280*10^3 slugs (\frac{14.59kg}{1slug})$

$m = 4.09*10^6kg$

B: Using Newton's second law we have to,

$W = mg$

$W = (4.09*10^6)(9.8)$

$W = 40034960N\approx 4*10^7N$

Answer:

At the end points of motion (either side) the velocity must be zero because the velocity is changing from - to + (it can't turn around around without passing thru zero,

The velocity will then increase to the midpoint of the motion.

m g h = 1/2 m v^2 where h is the vertical distance thru which the pendulum travels

If you had 8 balls and 7 of them were a certain weight, and 1 of them was heavier, how could you find the heaviest ball. All the

Answer:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance 2) by only 2 weighings.

Explanation:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance 2) by only 2 weighings.

Make the following groups - --- (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8)

Step 1. compare the Weigh (1,2,3) and (4,5,6)

there are 2 possible outcomes:

1---both the group are of same weight. and named as (Case A)

2--- one of the group is heavier than other and named as (Case B)

Step 2. Let examine both case

In Case A --in this case, now compare the weight of 7th and 8th ball. By this you have recognize the heavier ball by 2 weighing method.

In Case B -- considered the heaviest group (assume group (1,2,3) is heavy), from this group take randomly two ball and compare the their weight. out of these two ball, one is heavy else the third ball is.

I need help quick pls . Its either physical or chemical change !

Trava [24]

Physical, chemical, chemical, physical, I’m pretty sure. Natural things, like you starting to breathe heavier are physical most of the time!!!

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, $\omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s$

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

$F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N$

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.

An electric bulb is rated 220 V and 100 W. When it is operated on 110 V, the

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

Case 1

Power = V * I

100 = 220 * I

I = $\frac{100}{220}$ A

Case 2

P = V * I

P = 110 * $\frac{100}{220}$

P = 50 W

I think the answer is 50 W

Hope it helps
