Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

A series LR circuit contains an emf source of 19 V having no internal resistance, a resistor, a 22 H inductor having no apprecia
masha68 [24]

Answer: R = 394.36ohm

Explanation: In a LR circuit, voltage for a resistor in function of time is given by:

V(t) = \epsilon. e^{-t.\frac{L}{R} }

ε is emf

L is indutance of inductor

R is resistance of resistor

After 4s, emf = 0.8*19, so:

0.8*19 = 19. e^{-4.\frac{22}{R} }

0.8 = e^{-\frac{88}{R} }

ln(0.8) = ln(e^{-\frac{88}{R} })

ln(0.8) = -\frac{88}{R}

R = -\frac{88}{ln(0.8)}

R = 394.36

In this LR circuit, the resistance of the resistor is 394.36ohms.

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, what would you subtract?
kolezko [41]
You look up the element in the periodic table. Subtract the atomic number (small number) from the mass number (big number). The answer is the number of neutrons.

Convert 1erg into joule by dimensional method​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

1 * 10^-7 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use dimensional analysis.

1 ergos [erg] is equal to 1 * 10^-7 Joules [J]

1[erg]*\frac{1*10^{-7} }{1}*[\frac{J}{erg} ] \\= 1*10^{-7}[J]
