That's a formula that shows the relationship between three quantities ...
weight, mass, and acceleration.  If you know any two of them, then you
can use this formula to find the one you don't know.

Examples:

==>  I have a rock with 2 kilograms of mass.
        The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
        How much does my rock weigh on Earth ?

         Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
                      = (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
                                                       =  19.6 newtons
                                                  (about 4.41 pounds)

==>  My brother weighs 770 newtons (about 173 pounds) on Earth.
         What is his mass ?

                               Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                               770 newtons = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s²:           770 newtons / 9.8 m/s² = mass

                                        78.57 kilograms = mass

==> When I went to the Moon, I took along my 2-kilogram rock.
         I weighed my rock on the Moon. 
         It weighs 3.25 newtons  (about 0.73 pound) there.
         What is the gravitational acceleration on the Moon ?

                                   Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                                   3.25 newtons = (2 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  2 kilograms:        (3.25 newtons)/(2 kg)  =  acceleration

                                    1.63 m/s² = grav acceleration on the Moon

Assume the ground is uniformly level. If the horizontal component a projectile's velocity is doubled, but the vertical component
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time of flight = 2 x u sinα / g where u sinα is vertical component of projectile's velocity u .

So Time of flight = 2 x vertical component / g

vertical component = constant

g is also constant so

Time of flight will also be constant .

It will remain unchanged .

A coil of wire consists of 20 turns, each of which has an area of 0.0015 m2. A magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface wi
stepan [7]

Answer:

magnitude of the induced emf in the coil is 0.0153 V

Explanation:

Given data

no of turns = 20

area = 0.0015 m²

magnitude  B1 = 4.91 T/s

magnitude  B2 = 5.42 T/s

to find out

the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil

solution

we know here

emf = -n A d∅ /dt

so here n = 20 and

A = 0.0015

and d∅ = B2 - B1 = 5.42 - 4.91

d∅ = 0.51 T and dt  at 1 sec

so  put all value

emf = -n A d∅ /dt

emf = -20 (0.0015) 0.51 / 1

emf = - 0.0153

so magnitude of the induced emf in the coil is 0.0153 V

A 60 kg student in a rowboat on a still lake decides to dive off the back of the boat. The studen'ts horizontal aceleration is 2
TiliK225 [7]
As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.

So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.

=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N

Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.

Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..

5) With a power of 0.12HP it is possible to move a piece of furniture from one place to another, in 14 seconds, applying a force
viva [34]

Answer:

a) 1250 J

b) 17.9 m

Explanation:

Convert horsepower to watts:

0.12 HP = 89.5 W

a) Work = power × time

W = (89.5 W) (14 s)

W = 1250 J

b) Work = force × distance

1250 J = (70 N) d

d = 17.9 m
