Answer:

6318 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) =.?

gₘ = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = gₑ /6

Cross multiply

gₑ = 1.62 × 6

gₑ = 9.72 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the container on the earth as follow:

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) = 9.72 m/s²

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

W = m × gₑ

W = 650 × 9.72

W = 6318 N

Therefore, the weight of the container on earth is 6318 N

Answer: because she is pedalling at her maximum speed produced by the maximum force applied. At constant speed, acceleration is equal to zero.

Explanation:

Pedalling of bicycle involves application of force. The force applied produces circular motion to the tires which eventually transform into linear speed.

V = wr

Where V = linear speed

W = angular speed

r = radius.

Change in speed V will lead to acceleration or deceleration depending on increase or decrease in speed.

If she stops accelerating, then, she must have applied force that makes her pedalling at maximum speed. She is also maintaining this uniform (constant ) speed. After reaching her maximum speed.

At constant speed, acceleration = 0

Base on this explanation, even though she is still pedalling as fast as she can, which at constant speed, she will stop accelerating and her speed reaches a maximum value because she is pedalling at her applied maximum force.

Explain the benefits of understanding sound waves properties in real life.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The vibrations from sound waves cause our ears to send signals to our brains to create sound. The speed of sound waves will determine the sound's pitch, or how high or low something sounds. Sound waves are important because they allow us to hear important messages and emergency signals to protect ourselves.

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.80 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 3.90 m
Dovator [93]

Answer:

the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal

Explanation:

initial veetical speed V₀y=0

Horizontal speed Vx = Vx₀= 3.80m/s

Vertical drop height= 3.90m

Let Vy = vertical speed when it got to the water downward.

g= 9.81m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

From kinematics equation of motion for vertical drop

Vy²= V₀y² +2 gh

Vy²= 0 + ( 2× 9.8 × 3.90)

Vy= √76.518

Vy=8.747457

Then we can calculate the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water using Resultant speed formula below

V= √Vy² + Vx²

V=√3.80² + 8.747457²

V=9.537m/s

The angle can also be calculated as

θ=tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

tan⁻¹( 8.747457/3.80)

=66.52⁰

the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal
