A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt

h that on Earth? Repeat for Jupiter, where g is 2.64 times that on Earth. Find the mass of the bag of sugar in kilograms at each of the three locations.

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

After rubbing a balloon on your shirt, your hair sticks up when the balloon is near your head. Explain how tiny particles on you
skad [1K]
Almost right. protons are positive and electrons are negative. so when you run the balloon on your hair, electrons are transferred between them (i’m not sure which direction) and now one is positively charged as it lost negative particles and one is negative as it gained negative particles (electrons). opposite charges attract
