The mass of an object is 60kg on the surface of the earth what will be its weight on the surface of the moon

Answer:

Wm = 97.2 [N]

Explanation:

We must make it clear that mass and weight are two different terms, the mass is always preserved that is to say this will never vary regardless of the location of the object. While weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

But in order to calculate the weight of the body on the moon, we must know the gravitational acceleration of the moon. Performing a search of this value on the internet, we find that the moon's gravity is.

gm = 1.62 [m/s²]

Wm = 60*1.62

Wm = 97.2 [N]

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the electron, m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m

(b) Kinetic energy, K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds
