"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________
If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Answer:
1. Elastic collision
2. Inelastic collision
Explanation:
Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision
the collision is described by the equation bellow
Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity
the collision is described by the equation bellow
Answer:
109.32 N/m
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg
Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s
Force constant, k = ?
Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as
T = 2π √(m/k), where
T = period of oscillation
m = mass of object and
k = force constant if the spring
Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have
k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question
k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²
k = 315.91 / 2.89
k = 109.32 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
The correct answer is radioisotopes.
The sad ball does not rebound after it strikes the block. This means that the collision is inelastic. If two sad balls collide with each other, we can assume completely inelastic collision. Since momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy during the collision would be twice that of each of the ball's, half of the kinetic energy of each ball will be dissipated.
