If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

Physics

SashulF [63]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass  is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.

A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s

Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where l
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms

Explanation:

The simple formula of the distance covered in uniform motion can be used to find the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear.

\Delta s = v\Delta t\\\\\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{v}

where,

Δt = required time interval = ?

Δs = distance between ears = 18 cm = 0.18 m

v = speed of sound = 340 m/s

Therefore,

\Delta t = \frac{0.18\ m}{340\ m/s}

<u>Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms</u>

If a projectile travels in the air for 8 seconds when does a projectile reach its highest point
emmainna [20.7K]

Given

The projectile is in air for a time of t=8 sec

To find

The time it takes to reach the highest point

Explanation

A projectile moves up to the highest point and then again moves down following a parabolic path.

So it will reach the highest point at a time half the time it requires to follow teh parabolic path.

The time taken to reach the highest point is 4 sec

Conclusion

The time taken is 4 sec.

A 0.20 kg mass is oscillating at a small angle from a light string with a period of 0.78 s.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

L = 15 cm

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(0.78/2π)²

L = 0.151027... m

L = 15 cm
