At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur

face of the earth. In this problem, use 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on earth.Part AWhat is its mass on the earth's surface?Part BWhat is its mass on the surface of Io?Part CWhat is its weight on the surface of Io?

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.

Answer:

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during this time?

✓ Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 50,000 * 4 Distance = 200,000 km. Hope this helps

How are energy, force, and the motion of objects related?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

A hot-air balloon has a volume of 440 × 10^3 ^3. Calculate the buoyant force that the surrounding cold air exerts on the balloon
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the balloon is

V = 440 × 10³ m³

Buoyant force F?

Given the density of the surrounding to be 2.58 kg/m³

ρ = 2.58 kg/m³

The buoyant force is the weight of water displaced and it is calculated using

F_b = ρVg

Where

F_b is buoyant force

ρ is density

V is the volume of the liquid displace.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Then,

F_b = ρVg

F_b = 2.58 × 440 × 10³ × 9.81

F_b = 1.1 × 10^7 N
