Ah ha ! Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.
You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.
Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)
Mass = (weight) / (local gravity)
Mass = (1 Newton) / (local gravity)
"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest. This is the
clue that gives it away.
If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:
"Fine ! Great ! Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there. And if you don't mind, be quick about it."
The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is 0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.
So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth.
That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !
It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid. Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity. That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.
Answer:
when you get to fall for free
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Either larger or smaller than the displacement of either wave acting alone, depending on the signs of the displacements of the two waves.
Answer:
Mechanical energy
Explanation:
A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.
Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.
Types of mechanical energy
1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)
2. Stored energy(potential energy)
Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy
