A grapefruit has a weight on earth of 4.9 newtons. what is the grapefruit's mass?

1 answer:

7 0

The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.

F = ma
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2
m = 0.5 kg
The mass of the object is 0.5kg.

Below is a metabolic pathway having 3 chemical reactions and 3 enzymes. Enzyme 1 has 2 binding sites--1 for the substrate A and

ch4aika [34]

Answer: The correct answer is : A, B, C, D. All statements are correct.

Explanation: This case is called non-competitive inhibition. As a result of the inhibition of the enzyme, there will eventually be less substrate that becomes the final product and this route will be closed. Enzyme 1 has two binding sites.

A domestic water heater holds 189 L of water at 608C, 1 atm. Determine the exergy of the hot water, in kJ. To what elevation, in

Gekata [30.6K]

The energy of the hot water is 482630400 J

Using Q = mcΔT where Q = energy of hot water, m = mass of water = ρV where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³ and V = volume of water = 189 L = 0.189 m³,

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg-°C and ΔT = temperature change of water = T₂ - T₁ where T₂ = final temperature of water = 608 °C. If we assume the water was initially at 0°C, T₁ = 0 °C. So, the temperature change ΔT = 608 °C - 0 °C = 608 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Q = mcΔT

Q = ρVcΔT

Q = 1000 kg/m³ × 0.189 m³ × 4200 J/kg-°C × 608 °C

Q = 482630400 J

So, the energy of the hot water is 482630400 J

The elevation the mass would have to be raised from zero elevation relative to the reference environment for its exergy to equal that of the hot water is 49248 m.

Using the equation for gravitational potential energy ΔU = mgΔh where m = mass of object = 1000 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and Δh = h - h' where h = required elevation and h' = zero level elevation = 0 m

Since the energy of the mass equal the energy of the hot water, ΔU = 482630400 J

So, ΔU = mgΔh

ΔU = mg(h - h')

making h subject of the formula, we have

h = h' + ΔU/mg

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = h' + ΔU/mg

h = 0 m + 482630400 J/(1000 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 0 m + 482630400 J/(9800 kgm/s²)

h = 0 m + 49248 m

h = 49248 m

So, the elevation the mass would have to be raised from zero elevation relative to the reference environment for its exergy to equal that of the hot water is 49248 m.

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer $f_{obs}$ is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,
