Accurately

Explanation:

If we took our laboratory spring to the moon, we can accurately measure the mass because mass of any substance is the same every where in the universe.

Mass is the amount of substance in a matter. Since the same substance on earth is made up of same matter on moon, the mass will remain the same.

The only difference between the measurement would be the weight.
Weight is the vertical force on an object.
It is function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity on earth and moon are different.
The gravity on moon is about one-sixth that on earth.
The weight using the same mass will be one-sixth
But the mass will be the same.

A gas at a pressure of 2.10 atm undergoes a quasi static isobaric expansion from 3.70 to 5.40 L. How much work is done by the ga

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Total work done in expansion will be $3.60\times 10^5J$

Explanation:

We have given pressure P = 2.10 atm

We know that 1 atm $=1.01\times 10^5Pa$

So 2.10 atm $=2.10\times 1.01\times 10^5=2.121\times 10^5Pa$

Volume is increases from 3370 liter to 5.40 liter

So initial volume $V_1=3.70liter$

And final volume $V_2=5.40liter$

So change in volume $dV=5.40-3.70=1.70liter$

For isobaric process work done is equal to $W=PdV=2.121\times 10^5\times 1.70=3.60\times 10^5J$

So total work done in expansion will be $3.60\times 10^5J$

a 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300 meters above ground). what is the potential energy of the

mart [117]

Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground.
We know, U = mgh
Here, m = 75 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 300 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 75 × 9.8 × 300
U = 220500 J

In short, Your Final Answer would be 220,500 J

Hope this helps!

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i

givi [52]

The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75
