On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

A 0.2 kg hockey puck moving at 80 m/s is caught by a 40 kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on the slide?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

V = 0.39 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hockey puck, m = 0.2 kg

Mass of goalie = 40 kg

Speed of hockey puck, v = 80 m/s

We need to find the speed with which the goalie slide on the slide. Let V be the speed. Using the conservation of momentum as follows :

$mv=(M+m)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{M+m}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.2\times 80}{0.2+40}\\\\V=0.39\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 0.39 m/s.

The hubbles telescopes orbit is 5.6 x10 ^5 meters above earths suface. the telescope has a mass os 1.1 x10^4 kilograms. earth ex

Andru [333]

(3) 8.3 N/kg. The gravitational field strength at a point is the force per unit mass exerted on a mass placed at that point. So at the point where the Hubble telescope is, it is (9.1 x 10^4)N/(1.1 x 10^4 kg) = 8.3 N/kg

Which would most likely cause the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating r

dusya [7]

Answer: Using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating.

Explanation:

Most likely, what causes the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating ranges is using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating. This can lead to detonation of the engine which is the tendency for the fuel to pre-ignite or auto-ignite in an engine's combustion chamber.The cylinder head and the engine oil are part of the automobile systems that helps in fuel combustion.

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude a. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the helium nucleus 52he. express your answer in millions of electron volts to four s

Vitek1552 [10]

The main formula is given by Eb/nucleon = Eb/ mass of nucleid
as for 52He, the mass is 5
so by applying Einstein's formula Eb=DmC², Eb=binding energy
52He-----------> 2 x 11p + 3 x10n is the equation bilan
so Dm=2 mp + (5-2)mn-mnucleus, mp=mass of proton=1.67 10^-27 kg
mn=mass of neutron=1.67 10^-27 kg
 m nucleus= 5
Dm= 2x1.67 10^-27 kg+ 3x1.67 10^-27 kg-5= - 4.9 J
Eb= - 4.9 J x c²= -4.9 x 9 .10^16= - 45 10^16 J
so the answer is Eb /nucleon = Eb/5= -9.10^16 J, but 1eV=1.6 . 10^-19 J
so -9.10^16 J/ 1.6 10^-19= -5.625 10^35 eV

the final answer is Eb /nucleon = -5.625 x10^35 eV
