The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False

madreJ [45]

True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
$F=mg$
where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N$

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40 mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: $1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}$

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at $\frac{2}{7}$ , this means that $\frac{5}{7}$ of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if $\frac{5}{7}$ of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

$miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles$

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it ( $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ ), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:
