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

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

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
mash [69]
For this case you must first know the definition of density.
 D = m / v
 where,
 m: mass
 v: volume.
 You can then write the following hypothesis:
 IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.

Responding to an alarm, a 765-N firefighter slides down a pole to the ground floor, 3.5 m below. The firefighter starts at rest
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let acceleration of fall be a .

v² = u² + 2as

v = 3.8 m /s

u = 0

s = 3.5 m

3.8² = 0 + 2 x a x 3.5

a = 2.06 m /s²

Since this acceleration is less than g , an upward force is acting on the firefighter in the form of friction . Let this force be F . Let mass of the firefighter be m .

m = 765 / 9.8

= 78.06 kg

mg - F = ma

765 - F = 78.06 x 2.06

765 - F = 160.8

F = 604.2 N .

Why do scientist use light years instead to measure space instead of kilometers?
IrinaK [193]
The reason scientists use light years instead of kilometres is becasue a light year is the distance traveled by light in one year, and if we actually did the math (ill just give it to you)9.4605289*10^{15} meters to put that into perspective a kilometer is 1000 meters or 1.0*10^{3} meters. if they mesured everything in kilometers they would have to use even bigger numbers than they already do.
