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

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.

In an eslastic ,the momentum is_______and the mechanical energy is​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Describe how transverse waves can be produced by a rope. Then describe hiw pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
Oduvanchick [21]
We did this experiment before, when the rope moves, it represents the waves passing through in from the level of intensity. I hope this is a good answer.

Which type of comb would be best to use in the winter, a plastic comb or a glass comb? Explain using the Triboelectric series.
leonid [27]

Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy
