Befroe showing a numercial answer, It is necessary to clarify that pounds is not a unit of weight. Pounds is a unit of mass.


Mass is a property of matter which indicates the amount of matter (atoms of certain kind) that the object has. The mass of an object does not change whenever the object changes of environment. It is the same in water, on the air, on Jupiter, the Earth, Venus, the Moon. Any where.


On the other hand, weight is the product of mass times the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, weight is different from mass and it changes depending on the place.


To find the mass in pounds of a 185 kg object, you have to make a conversion of units.


The conversion factor is 1 kg = 2.2046 pounds ⇒ 1 = 2.2046 pounds / kg.


Therefore, 185 kg = 185 kg × 2.2046 pounds / kg = 407.851 pounds = 407.851 lb ← this is the mass in pounds.


To find the weight you had to search for the gravitational acceleration in Jupiter and calcuate it with the formula weight = mass × acceleration of gravity.


You find the value for acceleration of gravity in Jupiter  in internet as 24.79 m/s².


Weight = 185 kg × 24.79 /s² = 4,586 kg × m/ s² = 4,586 N.


There is a force unit in disuse called kiloponds. One kilopond equals 9.8 N. Hence, you can convert the weight 4,586 N to kiloponds in this way:


4,586 N × 1 kilopond / 9.8 N ≈ 468 kiloponds or 468,000 ponds ← weight

Hydroelectric power relies on the transfer of energy from waves through what medium
Sedaia [141]
Through the medium of electromagnetism, energy from waves get transferred which a hydroelectric power plant heavily rely on. The turbine eventually converts the energy from the waves into mechanical energy which is transformed to electrical energy using a generator.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Los objetos A y C tienen cargas del mismo signo (opcion a)

Explanation:

Hay dos tipos de cargas : cargas positivas y cargas negativas.

La Ley de Coulomb dice que la fuerza electrostática entre dos cargas puntuales es proporcional al producto de las cargas e inversamente proporcional al cuadrado de la distancia que las separa, y tiene la dirección de la línea que las une y se cumple que:

  • La fuerza ejercida sobre una carga apunta hacia la otra cuando las dos tienen distinto signo (fuerza atractiva).
  • El sentido de la fuerza se dirige hacia el lado opuesto de la carga cuando ambas tienen el mismo signo (fuerza repulsiva).

Es decir que las cargas de igual signo se repelen, mientras que las de diferente signo se atraen.

Entonces, si se juntan los objetos A y B y se repelen significa que la carga es del mismo signo.

Cuando se acercan los objetos B y C, se repelen. Entonces significa que posee carga de igual signo.

Por lo que podes concluir que <u><em>los objetos A y C tienen cargas del mismo signo (opcion a)</em></u>
