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

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away?
Ugo [173]
Yes, C is correct. It self explains itself as we know light travels through a vacuum ( doesn't need a medium) and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.

All Physicsts over here plz help in these questions!!!!!!!!!

Hello!

First one we can use that PE=mgh so we have

4.37*10^5J/(9.12*10^3kg*9.80m/s^2)= 4.89m

Second one we can use Newton’s Second Law
F=ma and in this case F=mg so we have

g= 3.28*10^-2N/6*10^-3kg = 5.47m/s^2

Hope this helps. Any questions please ask. Thank you.

Answer:

You are doing this wrong. Make sure that if you have 2 rows and on the top it has pounds then on the second bottom row you also have pounds so that they cancel each other out.

We know, Mechanical Energy = K.E. + P.E.
As ball is at ground, P.E. would be zero. But as it is in motion, it must have some K.E. and that is:

K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. = 1/2 * 1 * 2²
K.E. = 4/2
K.E. = 2 J

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
