Answer:

Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

Explanation:

from the question,

W = mg........................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.............. Equation 2

Given: W = 1000 N,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

m = 1000/10

m = 100 kg

Weight on the moon

W' = mg'

W' = 100(1.624)

W' = 162.4 N.

Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

An object moving with 108 km/h moves 400 m in 8 seconds. find the velocity attained by the object.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:50ms-1

Explanation:use the formula v=d/t

in order to find the velocity,devide the distance with time taken.

since distance is 400 meters devide it with seconds whiuch gives us 50.

In grinding a steel knife blade (specific heat = 0.11 cal/g-c),the metal can get as hot as 400C. If the blade has a mass of 80g,
babymother [125]

Answer:

33 g.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer can be possible except for heat exchange between water and steel, we can say that the heat lost by the knife, must be equal to the heat gained by the water.

As we have a limit for the maximum temperature of both elements (once reached a final thermal equilibrium), of 100ºC, which means that the maximum allowable change in temperature will be of 300º C for the knife, and of 80º C for the water.

Empirically , it has been showed that for a heat exchange process using only conduction, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a body, is proportional to the mass, being the proportionality constant a factor that depends on the material, called specific heat.

So, we can write the following equation:

cs*mk*Δtk = cw*mw*Δtw

Replacing by the givens of the question, we have:

0.11 cal/gºC * 80 g * 300ºC = 1 cal/gºC*mw*80ºC

Solving for mw = 2,640 cal / 80 cal/g =33 g.

We can change a gas to liquid by the temperature and the pressure.
hodyreva [135]

I am not sure how you want me to answer this, but yes, gas can go from being a gas to a liquid when the right temp and pressure is applied.
