Ah ha ! Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.
You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.
Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)
Mass = (weight) / (local gravity)
Mass = (1 Newton) / (local gravity)
"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest. This is the
clue that gives it away.
If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:
"Fine ! Great ! Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there. And if you don't mind, be quick about it."
The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is 0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.
So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth.
That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !
It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid. Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity. That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.
<span>Mitosis is a a means for cells to split and produce exact copies of themselves. The process produces two identical copies of the original cell and occurs throughout the human body. Mitosis is divided up into four main phases known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The chromosomes first become visible in early prophase.</span>

Answer:
V=14.9 m/s
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.
The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:
The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:
The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds
We know that:
Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:
Answer:
0.06 N
1.08 m/s
Explanation:
m = mass of the fan cart = 0.250 kg
a = acceleration of the fan cart = 24 cm/s² = 0.24 m/s²
F = Net force on the cart
Net force on the cart is given as
F = ma
F = (0.250) (0.24)
F = 0.06 N
v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s
v = final velocity of the cart
t = time interval = 4.5 s
Using the equation
v = v₀ + a t
v = 0 + (0.24) (4.5)
v = 1.08 m/s
