weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

= 80 kg x 1.6252 m/s^2 = 130 N (approximately).

The correct answer is A. 128 N

Your answer would be approximately 128 N. Here is how!
Acceleration on the Earth is 9.8m/sec^2... on the moon, it's 1/6 that, or about 1.6m/sec^2.

<span>So, 80kg X 1.6m/sec^2 = 128N</span>

Energy efficiency is a measure of the amount of energy conserved in a process. It is the ratio of the output energy to the input energy.

Differences between renewable and non renewable energy

Renewable energy can replenish themselves by recycling and replacement while non-renewable energy cannot
Renewable energy are continuously available while non renewable energy are exhausted
Renewable energy has low carbon emission and hence environment friendly while non renewable energy has high carbon emission and not environmental friendly

Sources of renewable energy

Solar energy.

Wind energy.

Hydro energy.

Tidal energy.

Geothermal energy.

Biomass energy.

Sources of non-renewable energy

Coal

Petroleum

Natural gas

Distribution of energy consumption in the US by energy sector

Petroleum = 36.2 %

Natural gas = 28%

Coal = 13.9%

Renewable energy = 11.0%

Nuclear electric power = 8.4%

Most of the energy consumed by the United States is non-renewable

Electricity is a secondary source of energy. It is derived from the conversion of primary sources

A secondary source of energy is a derivative from the transformation of primary sources of energy

How much water can be held by a cylindrical tank with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 30 feet? A. 2,260.8 cubic feet B. 13,5

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Volume, V = 13564.8 cubic feet

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the cylindrical tank, r = 12 feet

Height of the tank, h = 30 feet

We need to find the water that can be held by a cylindrical tank i.e. we need to find the volume of the tank. It is given by :

$V=\pi\times r^2\times h$

$V=3.14\times (12)^2\times 30$

V = 13564.8 cubic feet

So, the water held by the tank is 13564.8 cubic feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

Jupiter's moon Io has a radius of 1.82 ✕ 106 m and a measured gravitational field of 1.80 m/s2. What is its mass (in kg)?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

8.94*10^22 kg

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of Lo, M = ?

Radius of Lo, r = 1.82*10^6 m

Acceleration on Lo, g = 1.80 m/s²

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67*10^-11

Using the formula

g = GM/r²

Solution is attached below

Answer is 8.94*10^22 kg
