If a woman weighs 125 lb, her mass expressed in kilograms is x kg, where x is
adelina 88 [10]
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
 1lb = 0.45 Kg
 We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
 1lb ---> 0.45Kg
 125lb ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
 Answer
 her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s
liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Vertical motion of John : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is acting to balance gravity,keeping the rock in place? - D. friction
Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?
sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: 6.0 m/s^2

2) Mass of burned fuel: 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Explanation:

1)

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude F_g = mg, in the downward direction, where

m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg is the rocket's mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

T-mg=ma (1)

where a is the acceleration of the rocket.

Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:

a=\frac{T-mg}{m}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5-(1.9\cdot 10^4)(9.8)}{1.9\cdot 10^4}=6.0 m/s^2

2)

When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to

a'=6.9 m/s^2

The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.

We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as

T-m'g=m'a'

where

m' is the new mass of the rocket

Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find

m'=\frac{T}{g+a}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5}{9.8+6.9}=1.8\cdot 10^4 kg

And since the initial mass of the rocket was

m=1.9 \cdot 10^4 kg

This means that the mass of fuel burned is

\Delta m = m-m'=1.9\cdot 10^4 - 1.80\cdot 10^4 = 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg
