His weight depends on where he is, because
Weight = (mass) x (gravity in the place where the mass is) .
For example:
-- If this man is on Mars, his weight is (110 kg) x (3.7 m/s²) = 408 Newtons
-- If he is on the Moon, his weight is (110 kg) x (1.6 m/s²) = 176 Newtons
-- If he is on Earth, his weight is (110 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 1,078 Newtons
-- If he is in a spacecraft coasting from one to another, his weight is zero.
Explanation:
i) center of gravity (or mass)
ii) m = W/g = (160 N)/(9.8 m/s^2)
= 16.3 kg
Answer:
d. According to the previous theorem:
(kh^2)/2-mgh-(m(2v)^2)/2=0,
126h^2-2.577h-8.236=0,
h=0.266 m.
Explanation:
Answer:
B. They each contain the same amount of matter.
Explanation:
Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object.
A. Whether an object is big or small does not mean that it will be a certain mass. If you have two objects that are the same size, the denser object will have more mass, and the less dense object will have less mass.
C. The amount of space an object takes up is called the volume.
D. Different combinations and amounts of elements can give you the same mass. Rocks, books and cans of soda are made of different things.
Answer:
(a) 1.85 m/s
(b) 4.1 m/s
Explanation:
Data
- initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s
- wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g
- initial wooden block velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s
- final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s
(a) From the conservation of momentum:
Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf
Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf
4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf
Vwf = 1.85 m/s
(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:
V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi
V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837
V = 4.1 m/s
