The mass of an object on Earth is the same as its mass on the Moon. The weight is different.

Weight = m * g

Weight ( Moon ) = 40 kg * 1.6 m/s² = 64 N

If the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kg, its mass on the Moon is 40 kg and its weight on the Moon is 64 N.

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
mart [117]

Answer:

Option B

The molecules in thermometer spread apart

Explanation:

The mercury within the thermometer spread apart leading to an increase in temperature reading in the thermometer. The spreading apart of mercury molecules is caused by an increase in kinetic energy of molecules and with time the increase in kinetic energy decreases making the reading to stop increasing hence constant.

A little boy is standing at the edge of a cliff 1000 m high. He throws a ball straight downward at an initial speed of 20 m/s, a
marin [14]

Answer:

The ball will be at 700 m above the ground.

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematic equation

y(t) = \ y_0 \ + \ v_0 \ t \ + \frac{1}{2} \ a \ t^2.

where y(t) represent the height from the ground. For our problem, the initial height will be:

y_0 \ = \ 1000 m.

The initial velocity:

v_0 = - 20 \frac{m}{s},

take into consideration the minus sign, that appears cause the ball its thrown down.  The same minus appears for the acceleration:

a=-10\frac{m}{s}

So, the equation for our problem its:

y(t) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ t \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ t^2.

Taking t=6 s:

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ * \ 6 \ s \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ (6 s)^2.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ 36 s^2.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - 180 m.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 300 m.

y(6 \ s) = \ 700 m.

So this its the height of the ball 6 seconds after being thrown.

How does Newton's second law apply to an "Egg Drop" experiment?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Because an object in rest stays in rest until an unequal force pushes it so gravity is pushing on the egg making it drop
