A grapefruit has a weight on earth of 4.9 newtons. what is grapefruit's mass

1 answer:

7 0

The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.

F = ma 
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2 
m = 0.5 kg
The mass of the object is 0.5kg.

A reading shows a pressure measurement of 43 in. Hg. What is the equivalent pressure in psi? A. 5.73 psi B. 2223.13 psi C. 26.32

oksian1 [2.3K]

43 inHg = 43 inHg*2.54cm/in = 109.22cmHg * 10 mm/cm = 1092.2 mmHg

14.7 psi = 760 mmHg

1092.2mmHg * 14.7psi / 760 mmHg = 21.13 psi

Answer: option D. 21.13 psi

The Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is

maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that, the Average Speed of the orbiting space shuttle is 17500 miles/hour.

We need to convert the speed in kilometers/ second

We know that,

1 mile = 1.609 km

1 km = 0.621 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

$17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}=17500\ \dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{h}}\times \dfrac{1\ h}{3600\ s}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}$

Now cancel the miles in numerator.

$17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}=17500\times \dfrac{\text{miles}}{3600\ s}\times \dfrac{1.609\ km}{1\ \text{miles}}\\\\=17500\times \dfrac{1.609}{3600}\ km/s\\\\=7.82\ km/s$

So, 17500 miles/hour is equal to 7.82 km/s.
