Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

If you were on the Moon, which has significantly less mass than the Earth, your weight would: decrease

The point that seemed to be giving me a complicated time was being able to distinguish the difference and meaning of weight and mass and being able to apply that to a problem. I kept mixing up the definitions. For example in homework 3.1, one question asked:

If you were on the moon, which has significantly less mass than the earth, your mass would:

a. increase

b. decrease

c. stay the same

d. become zero

The definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object. The definition of weight is the amount or unit of force. For me, I just had to remember that when it asked about weight, it wasn’t referring how heavy an object is. After I was able to recognize that when it came to weight, questions became easier.

The final and correct answer was decreasing. The answer is because the Moon’s mass is less. This means the gravitational force is less on your body, therefore, your mass is going to be lighter

A system consists of a copper tank whose mass is 13 kg, 4 kg of liquid water, and an electrical resistor of negligible mass. The
laiz [17]

Answer:

T =  30.42°C

Explanation:

According to the conservation of energy principle:

Energy\ Given\ by\ Resistor = Heat\ Gain\ by\ Copper + Heat\ Gain\ by\ Water\\E = m_{c}C_{c}(T_{2c} - T_{1c}) + m_{w}C_{w}(T_{2w} - T_{1w})

E = 120 KJ

mc = mass of copper = 13 kg

Cc = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.385 KJ/kg.°C

T2c = T2w = Final Equilibrium Temperature = T = ?

T1c = Initial Temperature of Copper = 27°C

T1w = Initial Temperature of Water = 50°C

mw = mass of water = 4 kg

Cw = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 KJ/kg.°C

Therefore,

120\ KJ = (13\ kg)(0.385\ KJ/kg^oC)(T-27^oC) + (4\ kg)(4.2\ KJ/kg^oC)(T-50^oC)\\120\ KJ - 135.135\ KJ - 840\ KJ =  (- 5.005T - 16.8 T)\ KJ/^oC\\T = \frac{-855.135\ KJ}{-28.105\ KJ/^oC}\\

<u>T =  30.42°C</u>

An angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the
morpeh [17]

Answer:

b) normal

Explanation:

The angle of refraction (transmission) Θt is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal N'. 2. When a light ray hits a surface normally, the angle between the incident ray and the normal is 0, so Θi = 0. Since the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, Θr= 0.

What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving
lions [1.4K]

Complete question is;

Jason works for a moving company. A 75 kg wooden crate is sitting on the wooden ramp of his truck; the ramp is angled at 11°.

What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving UP the ramp?

Answer:

F = 501.5 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of wooden crate; m = 75 kg

Angle of ramp; θ = 11°

Now, for the wooden crate to slide upwards, it means that the force of friction would be acting in an opposite to the slide along the inclined plane. Thus, the force will be given by;

F = mgsin θ + μmg cos θ

From online values, coefficient of friction between wooden surfaces is μ = 0.5

Thus;

F = (75 × 9.81 × sin 11) + (0.5 × 75 × 9.81 × cos 11)

F = 501.5 N
