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

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 flat coil having 160 turns, each with an area of 0.20 m 2, is placed with the plane of its area perpendicular to a magnetic fi
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

10.2 Watt

Explanation:

N  = number of turns in flat coil = 160

A  = area = 0.20 m²

B₀= initial magnetic field = 0.40 T

B  = final magnetic field = - 0.40 T

Change in magnetic field is given as

ΔB = B - B₀ = - 0.40 - 0.40 = - 0.80 T

t  = time taken for the magnetic field to change = 2.0 s

Induced emf is given as

E = \frac{- N A \Delta B}{t}

E = \frac{- (160) (0.20) (- 0.80)}{2}

E = 12.8 volts

R = Resistance of the coil = 16 Ω

Power is given as

P = \frac{E^{2}}{R}

P = \frac{(12.8)^{2}}{16}

P = 10.2 Watt

A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. A
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T  

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level  and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²
