Weight of the 120kg mass object on the moon

It is a fact that the gravity on the Moon is (1/6)th that on the Earth.

Assuming g ≈ 10 m/s² on the earth.

W = m*(g moon) =  120 * (10/6) = 200N.

Weight on moon = 200N.

The object would weigh approximately 200N on the moon.. The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon is the same as the weight of the object on the moon.

A 75.0 kg person is on a Ferris Wheel that has a radius R = 16 m. The tangential velocity of the Ferris Wheel is 8.25 m/s. Calcu
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The period of rotation is

T=8.025s

Explanation:

The person is undergoing simple harmonic motion on the wheel

Given data

mass of the person =75kg

Radius of wheel r=16m

Velocity =8.25m/s

The oscillating period of simple harmonic motion is given as

T=(2*pi)/2=2*pi √r/g

Assuming that g=9.81m/s

Substituting our data into the expression we have

T=2*3.142 √ 16/9.81

T=6.284*1.277

T=8.025s

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule
rodikova [14]

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

Radon-220 is a radioactive gas. It escapes from underground rocks and causes a large part of the natural background radiation in
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134
