what is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on the moon if the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2

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

What are organelles? Describe the role of two organelles within the cell.
zloy xaker [14]
Organelles are small structures found in cells that carry out certain tasks. Two examples of organelles are the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Think of the nucleus as the brain of its cell, it controls activities and it contains a majority of the cells genetic material. The mitochondria is the part of the cells tasked with cellular respiration, which is the act of taking nutrients from a cell and turning it into energy.

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

s_2 = gt^2/2

s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2

v_2 = gt

v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)

Their difference in distance are therefore:

\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2

\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)

\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t) (AsA^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)

\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt

\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²

Bess [88]

Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
