Answer:

1. 75 N

2. 6.8351 N

3. 700 N

Explanation:

1. Determination of the weight of the bowling ball:

Mass (m) = 7.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = m × g

W = 7.5 × 10

W = 75 N

2. Determination of the weight of the object.

Mass (m) = 683.51 g

Weight (W) =?

We'll begin by converting 683.51 g to kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

683.51 g = 683.51 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

683.51 g = 0.68351 Kg

Thus, 683.51 g is equivalent to 0.68351 Kg.

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the object as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.68351 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = m × g

W = 0.68351 × 10

W = 6.8351 N

3. Determination of the weight of the KHS student.

Mass (m) = 154 lb

Weight (W) =?

We'll begin by converting 154 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

2.2 lb = 1 Kg

Therefore,

154 lb = 154 lb × 1 Kg / 2.2 lb

154 lb = 70 kg

Thus, 154 lb is equivalent to 70 kg.

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the KHS student as follow:

Mass (m) = 70 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = m × g

W = 70 × 10

W = 700 N

The force of gravity is also known as

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Gravitation

Explanation:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects.

Hydroelectricity provides about 7 percent of the electricity generated in the united states. (a) explain how a hydroelectric pow

aivan3 [116]

a. A dam is usually built at the site of hydroelectric power. As water accumulates, its potential power for producing electric power increases. As this water moves downstream from the dam, mostly through a fall, its kinetic energy is harnessed by turbines and converted to electric energy.

b. One factor is the height of the fall of the water from the dam. The higher the height the higher the kinetic energy of the water and hence can be converted to higher electric energy. The higher the number of coils of the turbine generator being rotated by the water, the higher the conversion to electric current.

c. One is impoundment. This type is the most common and involves the building of a dam to store water and later the water is released to turn turbines. The second type is diversion. This type does not require a dam. Some water is diverted from the main river to create a pen-stock that runs a turbine.

d. The advantage of hydroelectric power is that is is a clean energy source hence does not cause global warming. Global warming can have economic consequences. The operating cost of this type of plant is low hence the costs of electricity are able to be kept low for the consumers. 2 disadvantage is that creating a dam upstream causes a change in the physical and chemical characteristics of the river or water bodies affecting ecosystems. Another is that electricity is dependent on the water regime hence dependency is tied to climate.

32. Only a small percentage of the energy

nordsb [41]

Only a small Percentage of the energy emitted by the sun strikes earth because, since the earth is going in circles round and round, the sun only hits part of the earth and not fully. So for example if the earth is going around and the sun hits Africa then in a couple minutes it will go to the next country and that country will have sunlight. Let me know if you need anything else or if this isn't partially correct. GLAD TO HELP! :)
