Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.

if weight is the force of gravity on an object, then your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different
Elena L [17]
Yes, your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different planet.

Like on the Moon because acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that on the Earth, your weight on the Moon would be 1/6 the value on the Earth.
 
But note that you mass remains the same.

In Europe, gas cost approximately €0.98 per liter. How many dollars($) per gallon is this? ​ using a factor method
bixtya [17]

Answer:

€0.98 per liter = 4.377 doller per gallon

Explanation:

It is given that, In Europe, gas cost approximately €0.98 per liter. We need to convert it into dollars($) per gallon.

We know that, 1 euro = 1.18 United States Dollar

1 litre = 0.264172 US gallon

Cost of gas in Europe is €0.98 per liter.

0.98\ \text{euro/ liter}=\dfrac{0.98\times 1.18\ \text{doller}}{0.264172\ \text{gallon}}\\\\=4.377\ \text{doller/gallon}

Which object has more momentum?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

What will a spring scale read for the weight of a 75.0-kg woman in an elevator that moves upward with constant speed of 5.8 m/s
Sholpan [36]
<span>On the scale the only external forces are the man's weight acting downwards and the normal force which the scale exerts back to support his weight. So F = Ma = mg + Fs The normal force Fs (which is actually the reading on the scale) = Ma + Mg But a = 0 So Fs = Mg which is just his weight. Fs = 75 * 9.8 = 735N</span>

A 2kg mass is suspended on a rope that wraps around a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling with a mass of 0.01kg and a ra
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless is approximately 9.81 N·m

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object = 2 kg

The friction between the rope and the pulley = 0

The mass of the rope, m_r = 0.5 kg

The mass of the pulley, m_p = 0.01 kg

The radius of the pulley, r = 0.25 m

The torque on the pulley, τ = I·α = F × D

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ = F × D

Where;

F = The force acting on the pulley rope = The weight of the mass ≈ 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19.62 N

D = The diameter of the pulley = 2×r = 2 × 0.25 m = 0.5 m

Therefore;

τ = 19.62 N × 0.5 m = 9.81 N·m

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ ≈ 9.81 N·m.
