What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?

Physics
1 answer:
Dvinal [7]3 years ago
6 0

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.

Write a linear equation that expresses the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius (C) and degrees Fahrenheit (F
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Units Conversion </u>

The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales is well-known. But we'll use the provided data to derive the formula. Let's model the relationship between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) as a linear function like

F=mC+b

Where m and b must be computed according to the pair of conditions given. The values for each temperature scale are (C,F)=(0,32) and (100,212). Replacing the first value

32=m\times 0+b

It means that  

b=32

By using the second point

212=m\times 100+32

Solving for m

\displaystyle m=\frac{212-32}{100}=\frac{180}{100}

Simplifying

\displaystyle m=\frac{9}{5}

So, the conversion formula is

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

Which is the widely known formula for temperature conversion

Solving for C, we get the inverse relation

\boxed{\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)}

A guitar string with a linear density of 2.0 g/m is stretched between supports that are 60 cm apart. The string is observed to f
Butoxors [25]

<h2>The frequency of driver is 700 Hz</h2>

Explanation:

The frequency of wave in a string is given by the relation

n = \frac{p}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }

here n is the frequency

p is the number of antinodes and l is the length of string .

T is the tension in string and m is the mass per unit length

Thus 420 =\frac{3}{120} \sqrt{\frac{T}{2} }            I

Now if there is 5 antinodes , the value of p = 5

Thus n = \frac{5}{120} \sqrt{\frac{T}{2} }          II

Dividing II by I , we have

n/420 = 5/3

or n = 5/3 x 420 = 700 Hz

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)

Please help with this problem. Thank you.​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = mω²R

F = 15(2π/8.5)²(7.8)

F = 63.93044788...

F = 63.9 N

answer a) is the closest. No idea how they got a value that low unless they used a poor approximation for π.
