Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg$

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

A jewellery melts 500g of Silver to pour into a mould. Calculate how much energy was released as the silver solidified.

irga5000 [103]

When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

$Q = mL$

here given that

$m = mass = 500 g$

$L = 111 kJ/kg$

now we can find the heat released

$Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ$

$Q = 55.5 kJ$

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac

tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.

Difference between dry cell and simple cell

lakkis [162]

Simple cells have liquid chemicals, making it harder for it to carry. While as dry cells have no liquid chemicals, making it easier to carry.

) a 1.0 kilogram laboratory cart moving with a velocity of 0.50 meter per second due east collides with and sticks to a similar

ZanzabumX [31]

Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
Before the collision:
Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
After the collision
velocity = 0.25m / s
1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
0.25 * (1 + 1) =
0.25 * 2 =
0.50
Now new momentum will be 0.5
answer
the same before and after the collision
