What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on earth

Physics

djverab [1.8K]2 years ago

Answer:

196 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by

W=mg

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

In this example, we have an object with mass m=20 kg, and the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is g=9.81 m/s^2, therefore if we use the above equation we find the weight of the cannonball:

W=mg=(20 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=196 N

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?
balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

U = K

\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2

now take square root of both sides

v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

k = 9 * 10^9

A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>
