Weight = mg where m = mass and g = gravity = 10 (9.81....)
so m = w/g = 4.9 / 10(9.81....) = 0.49 (0.49949....)
if you get given g as 10, answer is 0.49 kg 
if you get given g as 9.81, answer is 0.50 (1sf)

Answer:

The grapefruit's mass is 0.5 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 4.9 N

We need to calculate the mass

Using formula of newton's second law

F = mg

m = \dfrac{F}{g}

Where, F = weight on earth

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

m = \dfrac{4.9}{9.8}

m =0.5\ kg

Hence, The grapefruit's mass is 0.5 kg.

Answer:

The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

hmax = 5740.48 m

Explanation:

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. How far does light travel in one day? Remember that you should first convert the day into s
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

2.59\times 10^{13}\ m

Explanation:

The speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by it in one day.

1 day = 24 hours

1 day = 24 × 3600 seconds

= 86400 s

Now, using the formula of speed to find the distance covered as follows :

d=v\times t

Putting all the values, we get :

d=3\times 10^8\ m/s\times 86400\ s\\\\d=2.59\times 10^{13}\ m

Hence, light will cover 2.59\times 10^{13}\ m of distance in one day.

Each milligram of glucose has the same amount of energy available to do work. The series B test tubes produced more bacteria per
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The series A test tube has some left amount of glucose left in it.

Explanation:

Let's assume that a fixed amount of glucose is synthesized, for the fixed quantity the bacteria produced in A and B be x and y respectively,

Therefore, the condition on x and y is,    y > x  as the no. of bacteria present in B is greater.

As a result B would require a greater amount of energy for its functioning, these energy would be derived from the already fixed amount of glucose present.

A test tube would also require the energy for its x number of bacteria, but it is less than that of B.

Therefore, there would be some unused glucose left in Test Tube Series A which has unused energy.
