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.

A fully loaded cart with a mass of 2200 kg starts from the top of a 12-meter hill on a roller coaster.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s

Energy energy can be transferred from one form to another we use many Indrajeet Converse in our daily life observe carefully to
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Find the list below.

Explanation:

Energy conversion imply the transformation of energy from one form to another. Examples of these conversions in my home include the following:

1. Chemical energy stored in food is converted to mechanical energy used in working(example sweeping)

2. Chemical energy stored in batteries are used to produce sound energy from the radio.

3. Electrical energy flowing through the wires are used to provide heat energy from the heating device.

4. Electric energy stored in the fan is converted to kinetic energy.

5. Chemical energy stored in petrol is converted to mechanical and electrical energies in the generator.

6. Electric energy supplied by the electric gas cooker is used to generate thermal energy after heating water.

7. Electrical energy flowing through the wires supply light energy in the bulbs.

8. Electric energy is converted to light and sound energy in the televisions.

9. Light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in the plants at the garden.

10. Electric energy is converted to sound and light energy in the kitchen blender.
