An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.

Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

Capacitors, C1 = 1.0 F and C2 = 1.0 F, are connected in parallel to a 6.0 volt battery (ΔV = 6.0V). If the battery is disconnect
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

66.2 sec

Explanation:

C₁ = 1.0 F

C₂ = 1.0 F

ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V

C = parallel combination of capacitors

Parallel combination of capacitors is given as

C = C₁ + C₂

C = 1.0 + 1.0

C = 2.0 F

R = resistance = 33 Ω

Time constant is given as

T = RC

T = 33 x 2

T = 66 sec

V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts

V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts

Using the equation

V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}

2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}

t = 66.2 sec

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}

a=\mu g

a=0.229\times9.8

a=2.244\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2-2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89

v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}

v=3.56\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

a water bomber flying with a horizontal speed of 85m/s at a height of 3000m drops a load on a fire below. How far in front of th
Andreyy89

Answer:

2081.65 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the load to get to the target. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 3000 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

3000 = ½ × 10 × t²

3000 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 3000 / 5

t² = 600

Take the square root of both side

t = √600

t = 24.49 s

Finally, we shall determine the distance from the target at which the load should be released. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 85 m/s

Time (t) = 24.49 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 85 × 24.49

s = 2081.65 m

Thus, the load should be released from 2081.65 m.
