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
<u>m = 0.5 kg</u>
<u>The mass of the object is 0.5kg.</u>

In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

230.4 s

Explanation:

The speed of car A is

v_A = 35 mi/h

and the distance travelled is

d = 10 mi

so the time taken for car A is

t_A = \frac{d}{v_A}=\frac{10 mi}{35 mi/h}=0.286 h

The speed of car B is

v_B = 45 mi/h

and the distance travelled is

d = 10 mi

so the time taken for car B is

t_B = \frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10 mi}{45 mi/h}=0.222 h

So the difference in time is

\Delta t = t_A - t_B = 0.286 h -0.222 h=0.064 h

Which corresponds to

\Delta t = 0.064 h \cdot 3600 s/h = 230.4 s

so car B arrived 230.4 s before car A.

What is the SI unit for intensity?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)

iris [78.8K]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67
