On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons
BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

See the answers below.
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.
A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.
Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.
![500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500%20%5BW%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B6min%7D%7B1day%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1day%7D%7B24hr%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1hr%7D%7B60min%7D%20%5D%3D2.083%20%5BW%5D)
The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?
We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.
![0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.075%5BkW%5D%2A5.6%5B%5Cfrac%7Bcents%7D%7Bkw%2Ah%7D%7D%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B24hr%7D%7B1day%7D%5D%2A%5B1week%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B7days%7D%7B1week%7D%20%5D%3D70.56%20%5Bcents%5D)
A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?
Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).
Therefore.
![Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%20%3D%20E_%7Bobtained%7D%2FE_%7Bdelivered%7D%5C%5C0.85%3DE_%7Bobtained%7D%2F1200%5C%5CE_%7Bobtained%7D%3D1020%5BJ%5D)
Answer:
Option D
490 J
Explanation:
When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then
PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J
At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J
Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence
981-490.5= 490.5 J
Approximately, 490 J
