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>

Why would the planets move in a straight path if there was no gravitational energy from the sun​
omeli [17]

Explanation:

The sun's gravitational force is very strong. If it were not, a planet would move in a straight line out into space. The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force (F_{T}) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.
