Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.
The feather's weight is . . .
On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>
On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>
The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
The formula for both is v(t) = v0 + a*t
b) v(8) = 0 + 6m/s^2 *8s = 48 m/s
now we know the beginning (2) and end speed (14), but not the time:
c) 14 = 2 + 1.5*t => t = (14-2)/1.5 = 8 seconds
Answer:
the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.
Explanation:
The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some
Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable
v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration
Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.
In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.
