Ah hah ! That depends on where he weighs 1250N, because
weight depends not only on mass but also on the local gravity.
So the same mass can have different weights in different places,
and the same weight can indicate different mass in different places.
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) .
Note: 1250N is almost exactly 281 pounds.
-- If he weighs 1250N on Mars, then his mass is 336.8 kg.
-- If he weighs 1250N on Earth, then his mass is 127.5 kg.
-- If he weighs 1250N on the Moon, then his mass is 770.2 kg.
Answer:
The comparison of unknown quantity with known quantity is called measurement.
Answer:
0.5sec
Explanation:
Parameters
Height(H) =20m
Initial velocity(u) = 5m/s
Acceleration due to gravity(g) =10m/s^2
Method one
Using the second law of motion
H=ut-1/2gt^2
20=5t-1/2×10×t^2
20=5t-5t^2
dh/dt = 5-10t
where any constant is zero therefore the 20 is zero
5-10t=0
Collect like terms
-10t= -5
t=1/2 = 0.5sec
2nd method
Parameters
Height(H) =20m
Initial velocity(u) = 5m/s
Acceleration due to gravity(g) =10m/s^2
Using the time taken formula
t=u/g
t=5/10
t=0.5sec
In vacuum and empty space, it's 299,792,458 meters per second
(186,282.4 miles per second).
In any material stuff, it's somewhat less. How much less depends on
what stuff it is ... it's different in each material "medium".
