Answer:

We use the relationship F = m x a, adapted for Weight: W = m x g

Weight is the force, m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. Take an example: you are 100 kg made up of 70 kg of body mass and 30 kg of space suit. Your weight on the Moon would be 100 kg x 1.62 m/s^2 = 162 Newtons (weight force).

On Earth that would be a Weight of 100 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 981 Newtons.

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$v = 4.2 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, $m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg$

Kinetic energy, $K = 0.013 \ \rm J$

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be v.

Thus,

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s$

$v = 4.2 \ m/s.$ (rounding to nearest tenth)

A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$x=1.75m$

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

$y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta =37\\$

To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

At the end of the motion y=0m

$0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}$

Solving for t

$t=-0.36 s$ or $t=0.73s$

Since the time can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

$x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m$
