Suppose an astronaut were to visit a planet where the force of gravity is half that of Earth. His mass on that planet would be:

"Mass" is what YOU ARE.  It doesn't matter whether you're on Earth, on the moon, on an asteroid, on a meteoroid, on the sun, swimming in chicken soup on Saturn, or in a space capsule falling from one solar system body to another one.  Your mass DOESN'T change.

Whatever mass the astronaut had after he ate that steak dinner just before he was launched, THAT's the mass he has while he's on the way to another planet, and THAT's the same mass he'll have when he gets there.  It makes no difference what the gravity is like on the other planet.  His mass will not change.<em> (choice-B)</em>

Only his WEIGHT changes when he's in different places.

Two horizontal pipes have the same diameter, but pipe B is twice as long as pipe A. Water undergoes viscous flow in both pipes,
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

c) 2Q

Explanation:

From the given information:

The pressure inside a pipe can be expressed by using the formula:

\Delta P = \dfrac{128 \mu L Q}{\pi D^4}

Since the diameter in both pipes is the same, we can say:

D = D_A = D_B

where;

length of the first pipe A L_A = L and the length of the second pipe B L_B = 2L

Since the difference in pressure is equivalent in both pipes:

Then:

\dfrac{128 \mu L_1Q_1}{\pi D_1^4} = \dfrac{128 \mu L_2Q_2}{\pi D_2^4}

\dfrac{ L_1Q_1}{D_1^4} = \dfrac{ L_2Q_2}{D_2^4}

\dfrac{ LQ_1}{D^4} = \dfrac{ 2LQ}{D^4}

\mathbf{Q_1 = 2Q}

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00 µg are floating in empty space, far from an
Igoryamba

Answer:

This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.

The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produ
grin007 [14]

Answer:

8 KJ/ s

Explanation:

Heat pumps Transfer thermal energy through absorbing of heat that comes from cold region and then release to warmer area by utilizing external power.

The coefficient of performance known as COP provide the ratio of both heating and cooling that are supplied to required work.

✓QH=The rate at which heat is produced = ?

✓COP= Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump = 1.6

✓ W(in)= power consumption= 5KW

QH=The rate at which heat is produced=[Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump] × [power consumption]

= 1.6 × 5KW

=8 KJ/ s

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
