On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is approximately one-sixth that on the surface of the earth. A 5-kg mass is "weighed

" with a beam balance on the surface of the moon.
a) What is the expected reading?
b) If this mass is weighed with a spring scale that reads correctly for standard gravity on earth, what is the reading?

Answer:

A. 8.175 N

B. 49.05 N

Explanation:

A.

Acceleration due to gravity (moon) = 1/6 * (acceleration due to gravity (earth)

Acceleration due to gravity (earth) = 9.81 m/s2

Acceleration due to gravity (moon) = 9.81/6

= 1.635 m/s

Weight. Fm = acceleration due to gravity * mass

= 1.635 * 5

= 8.175 N

B. Acceleration due to gravity (earth) * mass = Fe

= 9.81 * 5

= 49.05 N

Why is reaching activation energy necessary? Reactants require a minimum amount of energy to start to break a chemical bond. Pro
Ksju [112]

Answer:

<em>Reaching activation energy</em><em> is necessary because reactants require a </em><em>minimum</em><em> </em><em>amount of energy</em><em> start breaking a</em><em> chemical bond.</em>

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by the reactants to initiate a chemical reaction. The unit of activation energy is joule or  kilo joule per mole or kilo calories per mole. Activation energy depends on temperature.

The temperature dependence of activation energy is given  by Arrhenious equation. Activation energy is a threshold value of energy. For any reaction to occur this is the minimum amount of energy required.

An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.0 cm thick. The inside
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Heat current through the insulator=196W

Electric power= 196W

Explanation: Given: Kglass = 0.040W/m

Temperature of inside glassTi=175°C

Temperature of outside glass To= 35°C

Area=1.4m^2 , L= 4×10^-2

Heat current(H)= K ×A× (Ti - To)/L

Substituting the values into the equation

H = 0.04 × K × 1.4 ×(175-35)/4×10^-2

H= 196W.

The electric power = Heat current =196W

The electric power is the magnitude of heat current

E5. A ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 12 m/s.
Arturiano [62]

Hi there!

We know the following kinematic equation:

vf = vi + at

Where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

In this instance, the ball is experiencing a constant acceleration of that of gravity, thus:

vf = 12 + 10(1) = 22 m/s (if downward is considered positive in this instance)
