Explanation:

Gravitational force

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself.

Normal force

The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Friction force

The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.

Tension force

The tension force is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Spring force

The spring force is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it.

Given parameters:

Mass on earth = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

This translated gives $\frac{9.8}{2}$ = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

$y_{o}$ = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

$t$ = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

$a_{y}$ = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

$y$ = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

$y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}$

inserting the above values

$y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m$

An object is launched with an initial speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal . What is the maximum height reach

matrenka [14]

Answer:

H = 34.43 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the object, u = 30 m/s

The angle of projection, $\theta=60^{\circ}$

We need to find the maximum height reached by the object. Let it is H. Using the formula for maximum height reached by the projectile.

$H=\dfrac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(30)^2\times \sin^2(60)}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=34.43\ m$

So, the maximum height reached by the object is 34.43 m.
