Answer:

33.33 pounds          

Explanation:

Moon's effect of gravity is \frac{1}{6}^{th} the effect of gravity on Earth. Thus, an object which weighs w on Earth would weigh \frac{w}{6} on the moon.

Given:

weight of telescope on Earth, w = 200 pounds

Calculation:

weight of telescope on Moon = \frac{w}{6}      

= \frac{200}{6}=33.33 pounds

Thus, the weight of the telescope on moon would be 33.33 pounds.

Answer:

33,02 lb

Explanation:

g_m ≈ 1,62 m/s2

g ≈ 9,81 m/s2

m = 200 lb

m_m = m * g_m / m = 200 * 1,62 / 9,81 = 33,02 lb

How does the heat from sun reach earth
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

Identify the stage in cellular respiration that produces carbon dioxide as a waste product
ollegr [7]
During cellular respiration, organisms use oxygen to turn glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. The process has three stages: glycolysis , the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis in the cytoplasm ), breaks down 1 glucose into 2 pyruvate and 2 ATP. The Krebs cycle (in the mitochondrion's matrix), provides the hydrogen and electrons needed for the electron transport chain. Another 2 are formed here. The electron transport chain (on the inner mitochondrial membrane) forms 32 ATP through oxidative phosphorylation .

Plz help, and show work
pentagon [3]

Answer:

1. 2.67 s

2. 0.1 m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the time taken for the penguin to fall.

Height (h) of cliff = 35 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

35 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

35 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 35 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(35 / 4.9)

t = 2.67 s

Thus, it will take 2.67 s for the penguin to fall onto the head of a napping polar bear.

2. Determination of the acceleration of the penguin.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 2 m/s.

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u)/t

a = (2 – 0)/ 20

a = 2 / 20

a = 0.1 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the penguin is 0.1 m/s²

11.76 cm² into two significant figures and include the appropriate units
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
You will need to turn this into scientific notation, so:

1.176 × 10^1 cm^2

To two significant figures means to two digits so since 7 is greater than 5, you will need to round up.

Final answer is:

1.2×10^1 cm^2
