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.

diamong [38]

Answer:

decreases, increases, minimum (zero)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body and the potential energy is directly proportional to the height  of the body at which it is placed.

The formula for the kinetic energy is

K = 1/2 m v^2

The formula for the potential energy is

U = m g  h

As the body goes up its kinetic energy decreases as the velocity of the object decreases.

As the body goes up the potential energy increases as the height increases.

At the top most point, the velocity of teh object is zero, so the kinetic energy at the top is zero.

Need help with formula: H(t) = -16^2 + vt + s
Rom4ik [11]

<span> The equation is h(t) = at^2 + vt + d where a = acceleration of gravity = - 32.174 ft/sec^2 v = 25 feet/sec d = starting height = 0 and h(t) = 0 when the ball hits the ground. So, 0 = - 32.174t^2 + 25t + 0 You can use the quadratic formula on that if you want, or you can solve like this: 0 = - 32.174t^2 + 25t 0 = t ( -32.174t + 25) So, one solution of that is t = 0, corresponding to the initial time when the ball is kicked. The other time is: 25 = 32.174t t = 25/32.174 = 0.777 seconds or approximately 0.8 seconds.</span>

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t
belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = \sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The electrical loads in parallel circuits each have the same voltage drop, with equals the total applied voltage of the circuit.

Explanation:

I did some research and the voltage drop across any branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the applied voltage.
