How does weight change as the gravitational acceleration changes and why?

Physics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
4 0

Answer

The correct formula for weight is F = m*g where g is the gravitational acceleration.

All over the earth's surface, g is slightly different. The mass does not change no matter where you are. We should be measuring out weights in Newtons, not in kg. So the unit of weight in the metric system is 9.8 about * mass in kg.

Stop reading. This is your answer.

============

Notes

It was hard enough to get people to change over to kg never mind newtons. Canada, which is on the metric system, still gives the price of food in pounds. Or if not, in grams if the container is small enough.

Cashews cost 19$ Canadian per 906 grams which is roughly 2 pounds.

Oranges are $1.27 a pound and that is the way they are listed in Walmart.

10 pounds of potatoes are 4.95 dollars.

I'm sure you get the point. We use kg for certain things and retain pounds for others.

8 The diagram shows four identical spheres placed between two wooden blocks on a ruler.
enyata [817]

The diameter of the sphere is 2cm.

<h3>How to calculate the diameter?</h3>

From the diagram, the first sphere on the ruler is at 4cn and the last sphere is at 12cm.

Therefore, the length will be:

= 12 - 4.

= 8cm

The diameter of one sphere will be:

= Length / 4

= 8/4

= 2

Therefore, the diameter of the sphere is 2cm.

Note that the second question wasn't found online.

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2 for 30.0 s before leaving the ground. a. How far di
rosijanka [135]

The formula we can use in this case is:

d = v0t + 0.5 at^2

v = at + v0

where,

d = distance travelled

v0 = initial velocity = 0 since at rest

t = time travelled

a = acceleration

v = final velocity when it took off

 

a. d = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 30^2

d = 1350 m

 

b. v = 3 * 30 + 0

<span>v = 90 m/s</span>

1. The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are
Anni [7]

The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.

Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.

And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.
