Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!

If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?
Nat2105 [25]
The formula for the mass that remains:
m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

m_0=10 \ g \\
T=14 \ d \\
t=42 \ d \\ \\
m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25

The answer is c. 1.25 g.

On Mars gravity is one-third that on Earth. What would be the mass on Mars of a person who has a mass of 90 kilograms (kg) on Ea
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person will still have a mass of 90kg on Mars

Explanation: The Truth is, the mass of a body remains constant from place to place. It is the weight which is equal to {mass of body * acceleration due to gravity{g}} that varies from place to place since it is dependent on {g}.

In this case the person will have a Weight of 90*9.8 = 882N on Earth.

{ "g" on Earth is 9.8m/s²}

And a Weight of 90*3.3 = 297N on Mars.

{ From the question "g" on Mars is {9.8m/s²}/3 which is 3.3m/s²}

From this analysis you notice that the WEIGHT of the person Varies but the MASS remained Constant at 90kg.

Kevin jumps straight up in the air to a height of 1 meter.At the top of his jump, he has potential energy of 1,000 joules.Answer
Llana [10]
Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height

well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g

so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons
