If a boulder has a weight of 675,000 N what is it’s mass

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]2 years ago
6 0

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is)

You didn't tell us WHERE the boulder is, so I have to assume that it's on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is 3.71 m/s².

675,000 N = (mass) (3.71 m/s²)

Mass = (675,000 N) / (3.71 m/s²)

<em>Mass = 181,941 kilograms</em>

The same weight on Earth would suggest a mass of only 68,807 kg, so you can see how important it is to know where you are when you make your measurements.

Infrared telescopes are usually placed on high-flying airplanes or on satellites in space __________
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

In order to improve visibility

Explanation:

Infrared telescopes are made using infrared cameras that contain infrared detectors which are solid-state and are maintained at very cold (cryogenic) temperatures

Infrared radiation is absorbed by water vapor which is present in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the limitation of the use of infra red telescopes at high altitudes such as mountains, high flying planes or satellites

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C  upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}

W=0.0375N

To calculate the electric field,

E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is  repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

A 6.00-kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 37.0° above the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
forsale [732]
We need to see what forces act on the box:

In the x direction:

Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.

In the y direction:

N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force. 

From N-Gcosα=0 we get: 

N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.

Now to solve for Fh:

Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,

Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²

Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N

The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.

Which description correctly summarizes how an electric motor causes an axle to turn?
alexira [117]

Answer:

B on edge

Explanation:

the piles of the magnetic field generated around the armature are attracted to the opposite poles of the permanent magnent. As the opposite poles align, the commutator reverses the current direction so like poles are aligned and the armature continues to spin
