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.

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

W=K_f -K_i

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J

Answer:

\boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }

Explanation:

if \:the \:  frequencies \: are \to \\   f_{1} =  640Hz  \\ and \\f_{2}   = 480Hz \:  \\ but \:  \boxed{v = f \gamma }:   f =  \frac{v}{ \gamma } \\ if \:  \gamma_{1}  -  \gamma _{2}  = 1 =  \gamma  \\ f_{1}  - f_{2}  = 640 - 480 = \boxed{ 160Hz} = f \\ v = f \gamma = 160 \times 1 =  \boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }

Hi, I need your help with this Physics exercise, I hope you can help me A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represen
igomit [66]

Answer:

Velocity = 0.309 m/s

Along negative x axis

Explanation:

A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represented by the wave function

y(x,t) = 2/ (x - 3t)² + 1

At t =0

y(x,0) = 2/ ((x - 3(0))² + 1)

        =2 / (x² + 1)

At t = 1

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(1))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 3)² + 1)

At t = 2

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(2))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 6)² + 1)

For the pulse with expression y(x,t) = 4.5e^{-(8.73x + 2.70t)}²

The Velocity is

V = 2.7 / 8.73

= 0.309 m/s

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis
arlik [135]
The kinetic energy of the electron is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J, we can find the value of the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} }  = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s
