Gravity on Jupiter is 25 m/s/s, what is the weight of a 12 kg object on Jupiter?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

300 Newtons

Explanation:

Weight is the force of attraction between two bodies, one usually larger (like a planet), and one smaller (like a person). Force can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration.

The mass here is 12kg, the acceleration, which in this case, is the acceleration due to gravity is 25m/s/s, by plugging in our values, we have

Force = 12 × 25 = 300 Newtons or 300 N for short.

A satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its

gavmur [86]

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

$d = 2\pi r$ ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
$v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}$

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s$

Now, we can solve for the period:

$T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}$

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua

ANEK [815]

After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
