In which situation would an object weigh the LEAST? (assume all the objects have the same mass)

Physics

Answer:

An object on the moon would weigh the LEAST among these. So correct answer is B.

Explanation:

  • Weight of an object on any place is given by:

W = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity(g)

  • It means when masses of different objects those are in different places are same, the weight of  those objects depends upon the 'g' of that particular place.
  • As we know, acceleration due to gravity on surface of moon (g') is 6 times weaker than the acceleration on surface of earth (g), which is due to the large M/R^2 of the earth than the moon.

i.e. g' = g/6 so W' = W/6

  • And in the space between the two, the object is weightless.

The desert sand is very hot during the day and very cold at night. What does this tell you about its specific heat capacity?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

What is the acceleration of a 5kg mass pushed by a 10N force?
dem82 [27]

Answer:2m/s^2

Explanation:

mass=5kg

Force=10N

Acceleration=force ➗ mass

Acceleration=10 ➗ 5

Acceleration=2m/s^2

Suppose a=3i-2j+k b=-i-4j+3k and c is avector lying along positive x axis with the property that a(b+c)=0 then find c?
il63 [147K]

The value of the c will be (0 i+0 j+0 k). c is a vector that is along the positive x-axis and has the condition a(b+c)=0.

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a quantity or phenomena with magnitude and direction that are independent of one another. The phrase also refers to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation.

Given ;

a=3i-2j+k

b=-i-4j+3k

Given property:

a(b+c)=0

-i-4j+3k ((-i-4j+3k)+c)=0

(3+8+3)(-i-4j+3k)c=0

14(-i-4j+3k)c=0

c=0 i+0 j+0 k

Hence, the value of the c will be (0 i+0 j+0 k).

A) the unstretched length of each elastic rope is 24m. The rope obeys hookes law. The vertical distance between P and Q is 35m.
solong [7]

Explanation:

a) The rope obeys Hooke's law, so:

F = k Δx

The elastic energy in the rope is:

EE = ½ k Δx²

Or, in terms of F:

EE = ½ F Δx

Use trigonometry to find the stretched length.

cos 20° = 35 / x

x =  37.25

So the displacement is:

Δx = 37.25 − 24

Δx = 13.25

The elastic energy per rope is:

EE = ½ (3.7×10⁴ N) (13.25 m)

EE = 245,000 J

There's two ropes, so the total energy is:

2EE = 490,000 J

Rounded to one significant figure, the elastic energy is 5×10⁵ J.

b) The elastic energy in the ropes is converted to gravitational energy.

EE = PE = mgh

5×10⁵ J = (1.2×10³ kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 42 m

Rounded to one significant figure, the height is 40 m.  So the claim is not justified.
