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

The Skeleton does a surprising number of things. What are the three main Ones? lol, it's due today at 12:59 pm I need help.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Support

Posture

Protection

Explanation:

Support – the skeleton keeps the body upright and provides a framework for muscle and tissue attachment.

Posture – the skeleton gives the correct shape to our body.

Protection – the bones of the skeleton protect the internal organs and reduce the risk of injury on impact.

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
