First you must convert the weight to mass. So:

W = mg (assuming that gravity is 9.8 Nkg-1)

m = W/g
= 72 / 9.8
= 7.3kg

Then we can use Ep = mgh

= 7.3*9.8*1.4

= 100.1N

The moon clock is A) (9.8/1.6)h compared to 1 hour on Earth

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we want to compare the period of the pendulum on Earth with its period on the Moon. The period of the pendulum on Earth is

T_e=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}

where

g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth

The period of the pendulum on the Moon is

T_m=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}

where

g_m = 1.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

Calculating the ratio of the period on the Moon to the period on the Earth, we find

\frac{T_m}{T_e}=\frac{g_e}{g_m}=\frac{9.8}{1.6}

Therefore, for every hour interval on Earth, the Moon clock will display a time of

A) (9.8/1.6)h

A 4000-? resistor is connected across a 220-V power source. What current will flow through the resistor?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

55 mA

Explanation:

Ohm's law states:

V = IR

where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.

220 V = I (4000 Ω)

I = 0.055 A

I = 55 mA

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.
