Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

A 12.0 g sample of gas occupies 19.2 L at STP. what is the of moles and molecular weight of this gas?​
lubasha [3.4K]

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of about 22.4 L. So if <em>n</em> is the number of moles of this gas, then

<em>n</em> / (19.2 L) = (1 mole) / (22.4 L)   ==>   <em>n</em> = (19.2 L•mole) / (22.4 L) ≈ 0.857 mol

If the sample has a mass of 12.0 g, then its molecular weight is

(12.0 g) / <em>n</em> ≈ 14.0 g/mol

An empty beaker is placed on a top-pan balance. Some water is now poured into the beaker.What is the weight of the water? A. 0.0
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A. 0.044 kg

Explanation:

We need to subtract the sum of (beaker+water - empty beaker) which is 0.106 kg - 0.062 kg = 0.044 kg. The answer will not be written in Newton because this unit is used for force only and in this question w have to find the weight.

Hope it is enough.

Please mark me as brainliest.

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

Thanks
