An object weighs 39.36 newtons. What is its mass if a gravitometer indicates that g = 9.83 m/s2?

The force applied to an object is said to be a product of its mass and the acceleration. For this case, acceleration is the reading on the gravitometer. We calculate as follows:

F = mg
39.36 N = m(9.83 m/s^2)
m = 4.00 kg

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

$PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J$

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = $-PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2$

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= $\frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h$

Solving for v, we get

$v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2$

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th

mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.
