Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

You throw a tennis ball straight up (neglect air resistance). It takes 7.0 seconds to go up and then return to your hand. How fa
sattari [20]

Answer:

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the tennis ball to reach maximum height, t = 0.5 x 7 = 3.5 seconds.

Let the initial velocity be u, we have acceleration due to gravity, a = -9.81 m/s² and final velocity = 0 m/s

Equation of motion result we have v = u + at

Substituting

             0 = u - 9.81 x 3.5

             u = 34.335 m/s

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

. A 40.0-kg child standing on a frozen pond throws a 0.500-kg stone to the east with a speed of 5.00 m/s. Neglecting friction be
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

A 40kg child throw stone of 0.5kg

At a direction of 5m/s

Recoil can be calculated using recoil of a gun formula

m_1•v_1 + m_2•v_2

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

The negative sign show that the momentum of the boy is directed oppositely to that of the stone

m_1 Is mass of boy

v_1 is the recoil velocity of the boy

m_2 is mass of stone

v_2 is the velocity of stone

Then,

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

40•v_1 = -0.5 × 5

40•v_1 = -2.5

v_1 = -2.5 / 40

v_1 = -0.0625 m/s

The recoil velocity of the boy is 0.0625 m/s

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.
