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

Alcohol is being heated on the stove and distillates at 172.4⁰F . What is this temperature on the Celsius degree?
melomori [17]

Answer: The head temperature rises as the vapors of lower-boiling compound fill the distillation head. The temperature drops because the lower-boiling compound finishes distilling before vapors of the higher-boiling compound can fill the distillation head, which then cause the head temperature to rise.

Why does water stay in a straw if you put your finger over it?
aivan3 [116]

What's going on is that the water in the straw is pushed into the straw by the air pressure outside of the straw. As long as the pressure outside is able to overcome the force of gravity, the liquid will stay in the straw.

A 2.03 cm high insect is 1.39 m from a 131 mm focal-length lens. Where is the image? How high is it?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

image is 14.47 cm behind the lens

height is 2.11 mm

Explanation:

Given data

h  = 2.03 cm

p = 1.39 m = 139 cm

focal-length f = 131 mm = 13.1 cm

to find out

Where is the image and How high is it

solution

we know focal length formula that is

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

put here value to find q

1/ 13.1 = 1/ 139  + 1 solbe/ q

q =  14.463066 cm

so image is 14.47 cm behind the lens

and

height is calculate

height / h  = - q / p

put here all value

height = -14.47 / 139 × 2.03

height = −0.211324 cm

here -ve sign show image is inverted

so height is 2.11 mm

water flows in a pipe of a terminal of A1=0.02 m2 with a speed of V1=2 m/s. At the second end of the pipe A2=0.04 m2, the speed
weeeeeb [17]
A1*V1=A2*V2
0.02*2=0.04*V2
V2=1 m/s

Find an expression for the electric field e⃗ at the center of the semicircle. hint: a small piece of arc length δs spans a small
ahrayia [7]
Let l = Q/L = linear charge density. The semi-circle has a length L which is half the circumference of the circle. So w can relate the radius of the circle to L by 

<span>C = 2L = 2*pi*R ---> R = L/pi </span>

<span>Now define the center of the semi-circle as the origin of coordinates and define a as the angle between R and the x-axis. </span>

<span>we can define a small charge dq as </span>

<span>dq = l*ds = l*R*da </span>

<span>So the electric field can be written as: </span>

<span>dE =kdq*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>dE = k*I*R*da*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = k*I*(sin(a)/R I_hat - cos(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = pi*k*Q/L(sin(a)/L I_hat - cos(a)/L j_hat)</span>
