Answer:

20kg

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object, the amount of matter inside it does not change based on location. E.g. Objects do not lose matter when they travel to the moon.

Weight, on the other hand is the downward force you exert on the ground. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravitational field strength and changes in different places with different gravitational strength. E.g. The moon's gravitational strength is 1/5 of Earth's so the mass of the object would stay the same but the weight would be only 20% of the weight is had on earth.

Hope this helped!

A periodic wave has a wavelength of 0,50 m and a speed of 20 m/s, What is the wave frequency?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

u=speed, w=wavelenght, f=frequency

It's known that u=w*f => f=u/w

u=20m/s ==> f=20/0,5 => f=40 Hz

w=0,50m

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight

EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

$v_{perpendicular} = v cos20$

$v_{parallel} = v sin20$

so here we have

$v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20$

$v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s$

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

$v_x = 24sin\theta$

$v_y = -24cos\theta + 3$

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

$t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}$

also we have

$t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}$

now we have

$\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}$

$4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3$

$96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3$

by solving above we got

$\theta = 164 degree$
