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

A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the m
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, \gamma _0 = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, M_o = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, M_w = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = M_a

weight of the oil, W_0 = M_a - 0.013

weight of the water, W_w = M_a - 0.012

The relative density of the oil is given as;

\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

While visiting the beach, you enjoy the warm ocean water, but the sand burns your feet. That night you walk along the beach and
garik1379 [7]

The answer would be B..

Since sand can heat up quickly, it will also cool off quickly. But water takes a long time to heat up and cool down.

A 1.5m long string weighs 0.0020 kg. It is tensioned to 100N. A disturbance travels along it with a wavelength of 1.5m, find:a)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

What determines who is the most important person
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Putting your partner first means his or her needs, feelings, and wellbeing take priority over other people or things. A “sense of we” forms as you maintain this priority on purpose each day. You protect your relationship from being destroyed or damaged. You tend to your connection so it feels good to you b
