Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

Consider that earth's acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Also consider that the moon's acceleration due to gravity is about 1.62 m/s^2. Using these two values, we can easily find the weight of the object on the moon, given that the object weighs 100 N, and that F = ma.

First, let's break it up.

100/9.81 =

10.193679918450561 kg

10.193679918450561*1.62 =

16.513761467889908 N

≈ 20 N (with one significant digit, since that is the least amount of sig figs in the problem)

Answer:

a) The gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Moon is g moon=1.67 m/s

The ratio of weights (for a given mass ) is the ratio of g-values, so

moon

=(100N)(1.67/9.8)=17N.

(b) For the force on that object caused by Earth's gravity to equal 17 N, then the free fall acceleration at its location must be

=1.67m/s

. Thus , .

= r 2

⇒

=1.5×10

So the object would need to be a distance of r/R

=2.4 "radii" from Earth's center.

A 43 kg girl and a 7.1 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 12 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(a) Girl acceleration = 0.15 m/s², (b) Sled acceleration = 0.93 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

M1=Mass of girl = 43 Kg

M2= mass of Sled = 7.1 Kg

Force F= 6.6 N

To Find (a) a1 = girl acceleration (b) a2 = sled acceleration

Solution:

F1 = F2 = F (Newton's 3rd Law)

F=ma (Newton's 2nd Law)

(a) F = M1a1

⇒a1 = F/M1 = 6.6 N / 43 Kg = 0.15 m/s²

(b) a2 = F / M2 = 6.6 N / 7.1 Kg = 0.93 m/s²

When the valve between the 2.00-L bulb, in which the gas pressure is 2.00 atm, and the 3.00-L bulb, in which the gas pressure is

padilas [110]

Answer:

$P_{C} = 3.2\, atm$

Explanation:

Let assume that gases inside bulbs behave as an ideal gas and have the same temperature. Then, conditions of gases before and after valve opened are now modelled:

Bulb A (2 L, 2 atm) - Before opening:

$P_{A} \cdot V_{A} = n_{A} \cdot R_{u} \cdot T$

Bulb B (3 L, 4 atm) - Before opening:

$P_{B} \cdot V_{B} = n_{B} \cdot R_{u} \cdot T$

Bulbs A & B (5 L) - After opening:

$P_{C} \cdot (V_{A} + V_{B}) = (n_{A} + n_{B})\cdot R_{u} \cdot T$

After some algebraic manipulation, a formula for final pressure is derived:

$P_{C} = \frac{P_{A}\cdot V_{A} + P_{B}\cdot V_{B}}{V_{A}+V_{B}}$

And final pressure is obtained:

$P_{C} = \frac{(2\,atm)\cdot (2\,L)+(4\,atm)\cdot(3\,L)}{5\,L}$

$P_{C} = 3.2\, atm$

Q.01 When charging a secondary cell, energy is stored within a dielectric material using an electric field. True or False

Nitella [24]

True, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

<h3>Relationship between dielectric material and electric field</h3>

The electric field in a capacitor separates the negative and positive charges in the dielectric material, this causes an attractive force between each plate and the dielectric.

The dielectric material can store electric energy due to its polarization in the presence of external electric field, which causes the positive charge to store on one electrode and negative charge on the other.

Thus, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

Ten seconds after starting from rest, a freely-falling object will have a speed of about ________________________

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

Speed increases at a rate of 10 m/s (actually 9.8 m/s) every second. Thus after 10 seconds, the speed is 10 x 10 = 100 m/s.
