The downward acceleration of a falling body on Earth is 9.81m/s2. On the moon the same quantity is 1.62m/s2. An astronaut in a s

pace suit has a mass of 145kg. (a) What is the astronaut’s weight on Earth? (b) On the moon? (c) What is the astronaut’s mass on the moon?

The astronaut's mass doesn't change.  It's the same wherever he goes,
because it doesn't depend on what else is around him.

His weight depends on what else is near him, so it changes, depending
on where he is.

         Weight  =  (mass) x (gravity)

On Earth,  Weight = (145 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)  =  1,422.5 newtons.
                                                               (about 320 pounds)

On the moon, Weight = (145 kg) x (1.62 m/s²)  =  234.9 newtons.
                                                                   (about 53 pounds)

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

A 615.00 kg race car is uniformly traveling around a circular race track. It takes the race car 20.00 seconds to do one lap arou
koban [17]

Answer:

The value is  f  =  0.05 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  =  615 \  kg

      The period of the circular motion is  T  =  20 \  s

      The radius  is r =  80 \  m/s

Generally the frequency of the circular motion is  

       f  =   \frac{1}{T }

=>    f  =   \frac{1}{ 20  }

=>    f  =  0.05 \ Hz

A reaction in which x and y form products was found to be first order in x and zero order in y. by what factor will the rate of
Studentka2010 [4]
In zero order reactions the rate of reaction is independent of reactant concentrations. That is the rate of the reaction does not vary with increasing nor decreasing reactants concentrations. On the other hand, first order reaction are reactions in which the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reacting substance (reactants). In this case, i believe the rate of reaction will triple( increase by a factor of 3)
