Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
find acceleration force divided by Mass
a=f/m
Answer:
10
Explanation:
We can look at this problem as a triangle, r is the hypotenuse so if we take the square root of 6^2+8^2 we get 10
Answer:
The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth
Explanation:
For this we are going to use the equation of distance for an uniformly accelerated movement, that is:

Where:
x = Final distance
xo = Initial point
Vo = Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t = time
We have the following values:
x = 1.66m
xo = 0m (the kangaroo starts from the floor)
Vo = 0 m/s (each jump starts from the floor and from a resting position)
a = 9.8 m/s^2 (the acceleration is the one generated by the gravity of earth)
t =This is just the time it takes to the kangaoo reach the 1.66m, we don't know the value.
Now replace the values in the equation





It takes to the kangaroo 0.582s to go up and the same time to go down then the total time it is in the air before returning to earth is
t = 0.582s + 0.582s
t = 1.164s
The kangaroo was 1.164s in the air before returning to Earth
