Answer:

  • Mexico Citi:  782.32 N
  • Cape Town: 783.68  N
  • Tokyo: 783.84  N
  • Chicago: 784.24  N
  • Copenhagen: 785.2  N

Explanation:

The weight w its:

w \ = \ m \ a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

<h3>Mexico City, Mexico</h3>

Local acceleration of gravity = 9.779 \frac{m}{s^2}

weight :

w = \ 80\ kg \ * \ 9.779 \frac{m}{s^2}

w = \ 782.32 \ N

<h3>Cape Town, South Africa</h3>

Local acceleration of gravity = 9.796 \frac{m}{s^2}

weight :

w = \ 80\ kg \ * \ 9.796 \frac{m}{s^2}

w = \ 783.68 \ N

<h3>Tokyo, Japan</h3>

Local acceleration of gravity = 9.798 \frac{m}{s^2}

weight :

w = \ 80\ kg \ * \ 9.798 \frac{m}{s^2}

w = \ 783.84 \ N

<h3>Chicago, IL</h3>

Local acceleration of gravity = 9.803 \frac{m}{s^2}

weight :

w = \ 80\ kg \ * \ 9.803 \frac{m}{s^2}

w = \ 784.24 \ N

<h3>Copenhagen, Denmark</h3>

Local acceleration of gravity = 9.815 \frac{m}{s^2}

weight :

w = \ 80\ kg \ * \ 9.815 \frac{m}{s^2}

w = \ 785.2 \ N

Answer

mass of a person is 80 kg

to calculate weight of the person = ?

a) Mexico City, Mexico

acceleration due to gravity in mexico = 9.779 m/s²

   weight = 80× 9.779 = 782.32 N

b) Cape Town, South Africa

acceleration due to gravity in cape town = 9.796 m/s²

   weight = 80× 9.796 = 783.68 N

c) Tokyo, Japan

acceleration due to gravity in Tokyo = 9.798 m/s²

   weight = 80× 9.798 = 783.84 N

d) Chicago, IL

acceleration due to gravity in Chicago = 9.80 m/s²

   weight = 80× 9.80 = 784 N

e) Copenhagen, Denmark

acceleration due to gravity in Copenhagen = 9.81 m/s²

   weight = 80× 9.81 = 784.8 N

PLEASE HELP!!!!
defon

Answer:

v = 2.45 m/s

Explanation:

first we find the time taken during this motion by considering the vertical motion only and applying second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of cliff = 15 m

Vi = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s

t = time taken = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

15 m = (0 m/s) t + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (15 m)/(4.9 m/s²)

t = √3.06 s²

t = 1.75 s

Now, we consider the horizontal motion. Since, we neglect air friction effects. Therefore, the horizontal motion has uniform velocity. Therefore,

s = vt

where,

s = horizontal distance covered = 4.3 m

v = original horizontal velocity = ?

Therefore,

4.3 m = v(1.75 s)

v = 4.3 m/1.75 s

<u>v = 2.45 m/s</u>

The magnitude​ R, measured on the Richter​ scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scaleR = log(\frac{I}{I_o})

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity =  10^{6.8} \times I_o

I_o - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})

R = log(10^{6.8})

R = 6.8
