Answer:

A 60 kg person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn and they jumped, they would have to push with a force greater than 540 N

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction between an object on the surface of a planet and the planet is given by the weight of the object

Therefore the force needed to be applied for an object to lift off the surface of a planet = The weight of the object

The weight of the object on the surface of a planet = m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The strength of gravity on the planet's surface in N/kg

The given parameters are;

The mass of the person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn, m = 60 kg

The strength of gravity on the surface of Saturn = 9 N/kg

Therefore, we have;

The weight of the person = The force greater than which the person would have to push on the surface of Saturn so as to Jump = The weight of the person on the surface of Saturn = 60 kg × 9 N/kg = 540 N

Therefore, for a 60 kg person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn and they jumped, they would have to push with a force greater than 540 N.

A medicine ball has a mass of 5 kg and is thrown with a speed of 2 m/s. what is its kinetic energy?
Fantom [35]
The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball and v=2 m/s is its speed. Substituting these numbers, we find the kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J

A. What is the basic building block of matter?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a. atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. The atom is made of electrons and protons. It contains the chemical identity of an element.

b. Three types of particles that make up an atom are:

electrons - these are negatively charged particles and lightest constituents of an atom.

protons are positively charges and is 1873 times heavier than an electron.

Neutrons are neutral particles having mass equivalent to mass of proton.

Protons and neutrons exist in the center of an atom in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

c. An atom is a neutral entity where as an ion is charged. An ion has excess of electrons or lacks electrons due to which it has negative or positive charge. An atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.

d. In a negative ion, the number electrons is greater than number of protons. The atom when gains electrons becomes negative ion.

e. John Dalton proposed Solid sphere model in which tiny invisible particles constitute matter. These invisible particles are atoms and these are indivisible.
