If an object has a mass of 20 kg, what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?

2 answers:

7 0

That force is what most people would call the object's "weight".

Wherever the object is, its weight is

(mass) x (acceleration due to local gravity) .

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s² . (rounded)

The object's weight is (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 196 newtons .

(about 44.1 pounds)

An LED operation at 850 nm center wavelength has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse spreading in ns/km

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}$

Explanation:

From the given information, the LED is operating with a given wavelength of 850 nm or 0.85 μm.

Hence, the material dispersion is $\dfrac {d \tau _{mat}}{d \lambda } \simeq (80 \ ps / (nm.km) \ )$

Now, using the pulse spread formula:

$\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = \dfrac{d \tau _{mat} }{d \lambda} \sigma \lambda$

$\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = (80 \ ps/ ( m.km) \ ) \times (45 \ nm)$

Thus, the pulse spreading as a result of material dispersion is: $\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}$

chris and molly wins $2400 in a competition they share the money in the ratio2:3 how much money do they each receive ?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

chris gets 960 and molly gets 1440

Explanation:

add the ratio up and divide

2+3=5

2400/5=480

480x2=960

480x3=1440

960+1440= 2400

While seeds are forming, another plant part forms around them. Animals eat this part and carry the seeds to a new spot.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) fruit</em>

Explanation:

Both the gymnosperm and the angiosperms plants produce seed. Seeds are an essential part of reproduction in plants.

After fertilization has occurred, the ripened ovule is the part which turns into a seed. The size of the seeds depends on the type if plant.

After fertilization, the ovary forms the fruit. As the ovule is present in the ovule hence after fertilization, the seed which was made from the ovule gets enclosed in the fruit which was made from the ovary.

If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the in

wel

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.

What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?

If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?

Given Information:

Mass = m = 0.5 kg

Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Normal force = Fn = 1 N

Required Information:

Potential energy = PE = ?

Work done = W = ?

Answer:

Potential energy = 0.343 Joules

Work done = 0.39 N.m

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.

PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07

PE = 0.343 Joules

As you can see in the attached image

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

sinθ = 0.07/0.4

θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)

θ = 10.078°

The horizontal component of the normal force is given by

Fx = Fncos(θ)

Fx = 1*cos(10.078)

Fx = 0.984 N

Work done is given by

W = Fxd

where d is the horizontal distance

W = 0.984*0.4

W = 0.39 N.m
