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

Physics

Dvinal [7]3 years ago

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.

A 5 μF capacitor is connected to a 12 V battery. The charge on each plate of the capacitor is:
ziro4ka [17]
1 farad = 1 coulomb/volt

5 μF = 5 x 10⁻⁶ coulomb/volt

        = 60 x 10⁻⁶ coulomb / 12 volts

The charge is 60 x 10⁻⁶ coulombs = 6 x 10⁻⁵  (choice-A)

A steel beam hangs from a cable as a crane lifts the beam. What forces act on the beam?.
DerKrebs [107]

The forces that act on the beam are gravity and tension in the cable .

Gravity can be defined as the force that exists almost among all material objects that exist in the universe . Gravity is operating among objects of all sizes starting from subatomic sized particles to clusters of galaxies .It is the force that causes the free fall of an apple from the tree on the ground and also the movement of planets around the sun .

Tension can be defined as a force along the length of a medium , the force here is especially carried by a flexible medium such as a rope or a cable . The SI unit of tension is Newton per meter .

The forces that act on the beam are gravity and tension in the cable .
