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 stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.

Potential energy = Kinetic energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}$

$v = \sqrt{185.024}$

v = 13.60 m/s

Hence, the correct answer is option A

If the distance d (in meters) traveled by an object in time t (in seconds) is given by the formula d=a+bt2, the si units of a an

ss7ja [257]

Distance , d = a+b $t^2$

The unit of d is in meter and t is in seconds.

So the unit of a a must be meter.

Now we have unit of b $t^2$ is meter.

So unit of b* $second^2$ = meter

Unit of b = meter/ $second^2$

So unit of a = m and unit of b = m/ $s^2$ .
