Based on the given, this is probably a gravitational potential energy problem (PEgrav). The formula for PEgrav is:

PEgrav = mgh

Where:
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height (m)

With this formula you can derive the formula for your unknown, which is mass. First put in what you know and then solve for what you do not know.

$PEgrav=mgh$
$30J=m(10)(10[tex] \frac{30}{100} =m$ )[/tex]

Do operations that you can with what is given first.

$30J=m(100m)$

Transpose the 100 to the other side of the equation. Do not forget that when you transpose, you do the opposite operation.

$\frac{30}{100} =m$

m = 0.30kg

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?

Dvinal [7]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
