Answer:

Explanation:

Resultant is a single force that can replace the effect of a number of forces. "Equilibrant" is a force that is exactly opposite to a resultant. Equilibrant and resultant have equal magnitudes but opposite directions.

The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth. Calculate the weight on the moon of an object that has a mass of 24 k

ad-work [718]

When we say "The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s²) on the Earth's surface, so
it would be (9.8/6 m/s²) on the Moon's surface.

The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) · (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .

If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is

(24 kg) · (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha

Oksana_A [137]

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

30. The length of mercury thread when it is at 0°C, 100°C and at an unknown temperature 0 is 25mm, 225mm and 175mm respectively.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

75°C

Explanation:

175−25/225−25=x−0/100−0

150/200=x/100

x=150×100/200

= 75°C

Projectile Motion—A tennis ball is thrown out a window 28 m above the ground at an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and 20.0° below

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

$(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]$

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

$y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]$

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

$x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]$
