A bag of sugar weighs 2 kg on earth. What should it weigh in newtons on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is 1/6 that o

Elis [28]

<span> Weight = mass x acceleration
Earths acceleration is 9.8 m/s*2
1 kg = 2.2 lbs, so 2.0 lbs x 1 kg/2.2 lbs = 0.91 kg
The bag would have a weight of 9.8 x 0.91 = 8.9 N

1. 8.9 x 1/6 = 1.5 N

2. 8.9 x 2.64 = 23.5 N

The mass of the bag at all three locations is 0.91 kg. Mass does not change, the different locations only change its weight. </span>

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

Anna007 [38]

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

(a) Neil A. Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is . Find the time i

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a)<em> It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves. </em>

b) <em>The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds. </em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

<em>a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

<em>b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 192s$

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?

dedylja [7]

The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
