What is the weight of a 8-kg substance in N, kN, kg·m/s2, kgf, lbm·ft/s2, and lbf?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$W = 78.48N\\W =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\$

$W= 3.6lbf\\W= 115.2 lbm*ft/s2$

Explanation:

$m=8kg=3.6lb\\$

and g=9.81 m/s2=32.16 ft/s2

and

W=m*g

we can just replace de mass and gravity and we have

$W = 8kg * 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } =78.48N\\W = \frac{78.48N}{1000} =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\$

$W= 3.6lbf\\W= 3.6lbm *32.16 ft/s2 =115.2 lbm*ft/s2$

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about Earth’s magnetism.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par

taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

$t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 = \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s$

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
