On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by multiplying mass and gravity.

 

<span>Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance. We also need the Constant of Proportionality in the Law of Universal Gravitation, G. This value was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish in the 18th century to be the extemely small force of 6.67 x 10</span>-11 Newtons between two objects weighing one kilogram each and separated by one meter. Cavendish determined this constant by accurately measuring the horizontal force between metal spheres in an experiment sometimes referred to as "weighing the earth."

 

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Relay of thermostate is not working why
Colt1911 [192]

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.

A bag of cement has a mass of 62 g. What is the mass of the bag of cement in S.I. units (kg)?
NNADVOKAT [17]

The mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg) is equal to 0.062 kilograms.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cement = 62 grams.

To calculate the mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg):

<h3>How to convert to S.I. units.</h3>

In Science, kilograms (kg) is the standard unit of measurement or S.I. units of the mass of a physical object. Thus, we would convert the value of the mass of this bag of cement in grams to kilograms (kg) as follows:

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilograms.

62 grams = X kilograms.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = \frac{62}{1000}

X = 0.062 kilograms.

Marta_Voda [28]

You find yourself in a place that is unimaginably <u>hot and dense</u>. A r<u>apidly changing</u><u> gravitational field</u><u> </u>randomly warps space and time. Gripped by these huge fluctuations, you notice that there is but a single, unified force governing the universe, you are in the early universe before the Planck time.

<h3>What is Planck time?</h3>

The Planck time is approximately<u> 10^-44 seconds</u>. The smallest time interval, or "zeptosecond," that has so far been measured is <u>10^-21 seconds</u>. A photon traveling at the speed of light would need one Planck time <u>to traverse a distance of one </u><u>Planck length</u>.

<h3>What is Planck length?</h3>

Planck units are a set of measuring units used only in particle physics and physical cosmology. They are defined in terms of <u>four universal </u><u>physical constants</u> in such a way that when expressed in terms of these units, these physical constants have the numerical value 1. These units are a system of natural units because its definition is <u>based on characteristics of nature</u>, more especially the characteristics of free space, rather than a selection of prototype object, as was the case with Max Planck's original 1899 proposal. They are pertinent to the study of unifying theories like quantum gravity.
