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

Answer:

B. A collision scene

Explanation:

It could have been a parade ceremony, but, if you notice the vehicle's hazard lights or an emergency vehicle ahead, it is common sense to figure that they is a collision scene nearby.

How do I find the approximate velocity of "the object", on the graph at 5 seconds?
MakcuM [25]

First, foremost, and most critically, you must look at the graph, and critically
examine its behavior from just before until just after the 5-seconds point.

Without that ability ... since the graph is nowhere to be found ... I am hardly
in a position to assist you in the process.

Usimov [2.4K]
Camels have friction reduced on their feet making it easier to walk.

The force between two magnetic poles varies directly with the distance of separation. True False

This is true because they are the same type of pole.

In the national grid,what does the step up transformer do?
amm1812
In the National Grid, the Step Up Transformer increases the amount of voltage that is passing through the grid at any one time. These are used at power stations, as without them, there would not be enough power to transport the electricity around the national grid.
Hope this helps :)
