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

A particle undergoes a constant acceleration of 3.90 m/s2. After a certain amount of time, its velocity is 12.2 m/s. (Where appl
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

s_{f} = 14.312 m

Explanation:

Since the particle is experimenting a constant acceleration, the displacement can be found by using this formula:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot (s_{f} - s_{o})

Since s_{o} = 0 m, the equation is simplified to this form:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot s_{f}

Then, the displacement is now isolated:

s_{f} = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2 \cdot a}

Terms are replaced herein:

s_{f} = \frac{(12.2 \frac{m}{s})^{2}-(6.1 \frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2 \cdot (3.90 \frac{m}{s^{2}}) } \\s_{f} = 14.312 m

Scrat [10]

Buhrs atomic model differed from ruthofords because it explained that electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding the nucleus. This means that, Ruthoford believed that electrons can't do very much. However, Buhrs' model showed that electrons are much more powerful than anyone else believes they can be.

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meter
Soloha48 [4]

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meters, but you need to know the flow rate. One way of measuring the flow rate is to add a fluorescent dye to the liquid at a known concentration, and then downstream activate the dye by UV light and then measure the dye concentration by emitted light. If the dye is added at 1.00 g/s, and the dye concentration downstream is 0.050% by mass, what is the unknown flow rate in kg/h
