Answer: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.
Speaking bout mass,
it's mass is still 40Kg on the moon
but it's Weight on the moon is 1/6mg
Answer:
Because of the presence of air resistance
Explanation:
When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:
- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)
However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.
Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.
Answer:
80N/cm^2
Explanation:
Given data
A car of weight 6,400N
Area= 80cm^2
The weight is distributed evenly on the 4 wheels
hence 6400/4
=1600
N
We know that
Pressure = force/Area
Pressure= 1600/80
Pressure= 20 N/cm^2
For the four wheels, the pressure is
=20*4
=80N/cm^2
