Weight = mass × gravitational field strength
At space gravitational field strength is very low so its"weightless".

Calculate the heat energy needed to change the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 10°C to 110°C.
serious [3.7K]
<span>The specific heat (or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius) of copper is about 0.386 J/g/degree Celsius. This means that if we supply 0.386 J of energy to 1 gram of copper, its temperature will increase by 1 degree Celsius.</span>

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res
BARSIC [14]
Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

Vector ~A has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. When vector ~B is added to ~A, the resultant vecto
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.

Explanation:

Resultant of vectors = vector sum of all the vectors

Vector A = 29j

Vector B = ?

Resultant of vector A and B = R = -14j

R = A + B

-14j = 29j + B

B = -14j - 29j = - 43j

Hence, the magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.
