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

Physics

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.

What happened to the combined energy of the two sleds when they collided?
Komok [63]
Hi!
Here’s your answer:

What happened to the combined energy of the two sleds when they collided? It changed forms into another energy C. Because energy is conserved, the “lost” energy has actually been changed into other forms.

Hope this helps have a good day!!<3

Conclusion on ohm's law experiment ​
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

In our previous articles, we observed the theoretical formulas of Ohm’s law, its calculations in the lab report, and experiment. Today you’ll learn the verification of theory vs experimental results on a 1 kΩ resistor.

The theoretical results are obtained from the formula of Ohm’s law: V = IR. The experimental verification is provided for a metal film 1 kΩ (±0.05%). We have used a high-quality resistor with negligible tolerance value so as to reduce the tolerance error.

The little problem in our calculations arises due to improper handling of multimeter probes. You can learn the complete method to perform the Ohm’s experiment here and can calculate the current values by using the Ohm’s law calculator.

A man inside an insulated metallic cage does not receive shock when the cage is highly charge .explain.
Luba_88 [7]

A man inside an insulated metallic cage does not receive shock when the cage is highly charged because the whole charge reside on outer surface of the cage.

If the cage was a non-conductive cage, then the current cannot pass through the cage so it cannot affect the person in the cage.

For example- If you are seated in a car (metal body) and the car is hit with lightning, it is very unlikely that the person in the car would be hit with the lightning.

Which of the following is the best paraphrasing of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
nadezda [96]
<h2>Answer: The more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less well you can know the momentum of the particle </h2>

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle was enunciated in 1927. It postulates that the fact that each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine <u>its position and speed at the same time.  </u>

In other words:  

<em>It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.</em>  

<h2>So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity.  </h2><h2 />

In fact, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.  

Therefore the correct option is C.
