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:

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

Fofino [41]

Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$\frac{0.0125m}{s}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to know that $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$ . Then we need to convert 4 minutes into seconds and cm into m. We can do that by multiplying the number of minutes by 60 (because there is 60 seconds in one minute) and dividing the number of cm by 100 (because there is 100 cm in one m). So.......
