A bowling ball has a weight of 70 Newton’s on earth. What is it’s mass on earth? What’s it mass on the moon?

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

70 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²) , and you have

mass = 70 N / 9.8 m/s² = 7.14 kg.
___________________________

Mass on the moon:

Mass doesn't change. It's a number that belongs to the bowling ball,
no matter where the ball goes. If the mass of the bowling ball is 7.14 kg
anywhere, then it's 7.14 kg everywhere ... on Earth, on the moon, on Mars, rolling around in the trunk of my car, or floating in intergalactic space.

However, WEIGHT depends on the gravity wherever the ball happens to be
at the moment.

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.622 m/s².
So the WEIGHT of the ball on the moon is

(7.14 kg) x (1.622 m/s²) = 11.58 Newtons

That's only about 16% of its weight on Earth.

How long will it take a cyclist to accelerate to 12 m/s starting from rest if he rides with an average acceleration of 1.2 m/s^2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

<em>The cyclist takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 12 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}$

The cyclist starts from rest (vo=0) and moves at vf=12 m/s with an acceleration $a=1.2\ m/s^2$ .

Calculate the time:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{12-0}{1.2}$

$\displaystyle t=\frac{12}{1.2}$

$\boxed{t=10\ sec}$

The cyclist takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 12 m/s.

An acetal polymer block is fixed to the rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. If the top plate displaces 2 mm horizontall

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The shear modulus of the polymer is 5 MPa

Solution:

As per the question:

displacement of the top plate, d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

Horizontal Force, P = 2 kN = 2000 N

Width of the block, w = 100 mm = 0.1 m

By small angle analysis:

Angle, $\gamma = \frac{2}{200} = 0.01 rad$

Now,

Stress, $\tau$ = $\frac{P}{Area} = \frac{2000}{0.4\times 0.1} = 50000 Pa$

$G = \frac{\tau}{\gamma} = \frac{50000}{0.01} = 5 MPa$
