Answer: a. 667N

b. 665N

c. 54.5N

Explanation:

a) on the surface of the earth

W = mg

W = 68 × 9.81

= 667N

b) at the top of Everest (8848 m above sea level).

W =mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × [6378²/(6378 + 8.848)²

W = 665N

c) has 2 1/2 times the radius of the earth

W = mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × R²/(R + 2.5R)²

W = 54.5N

A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container = 120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, $M_{cu}$ = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, $T_c_u$ = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk $T_A_l$ = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}$

where;

$C_{AL}$ is specific heat capacity of aluminum

$\delta T_{Al}$ is change in temperature of aluminum

$C_c_u$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\delta T_c_u$ is the change in temperature of copper

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 40.0 N at the s

Mumz [18]

Answer

acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²

weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N

acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

a) Mass on the earth surface

$M = \dfrac{W}{g}$

$M = \dfrac{40}{9.8}$

M = 4.08 Kg

b) Mass on the surface of Lo

Mass of an object remain same.

Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.

c) Weight at the surface of Lo

W' = m g'

W' =4.08 x 1.81

W' = 7.38 N

Food provide your body with

Levart [38]

The food you eat every day provides the nutrients you need to survive. These food components include the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrate and fat – that offer calories as well as play specific roles in maintaining your health. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, don’t act as an energy source but do serve a variety of critical functions to ensure your body operates as optimally as possible.
