What is the weight of an object that has a mass of 12 kg if it is on Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.8 m/s

/s ? (units would be “Newtons” of force)
Please help ASAP

Answer:

Weight is ambiguous; depending on which meaning you use, either 12 kg or 117.7 N. Since you haven’t mentioned any other forces and assuming it is on earth, the force of gravity acting on 12 kg is about 117.7 N. That is one meaning of weight, the other (in law and commerce) is the mass.

Oh, in Customary, about 26.5 lb (mass) or 26.5 lbf (gravity).

See, weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

From the ques, we already have mass(12 kg) and acceleration(9.8 m/s²)

It's pretty simple now,

w = mg

w = 12 × 9.8

w = 117.6 N

A hockey puck attached to a horizontal spring oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The spring has force constant 4.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

m = 0.164 kg

Explanation:

T (period)

k (force/spring constant)

m (mass)

T = 2*Pi*sqrt(m/k)

T/(2*Pi) = sqrt(m)/sqrt(k)

(T/(2*Pi))*sqrt(k) = sqrt(m)

m = ((T/(2*Pi))*sqrt(k))^2

m = 4.5*((1.2/(2*Pi)))^2

m = 0.1641403175

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

7.15 m/s

Explanation:

We use a frame of reference in which the origin is at the point where the trucck passed the car and that moment is t=0. The X axis of the frame of reference is in the direction the vehicles move.

The truck moves at constant speed, we can use the equation for position under constant speed:

Xt = X0 + v*t

The car is accelerating with constant acceleration, we can use this equation

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

We know that both vehicles will meet again at x = 578

Replacing this in the equation of the truck:

578 = 24 * t

We get the time when the car passes the truck

t = 578 / 24 = 24.08 s

Before replacing the values on the car equation, we rearrange it:

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

V0*t = Xc - 1/2*a*t^2

V0 = (Xc - 1/2*a*t^2)/t

Now we replace

V0 = (578 - 1/2*1.4*24.08^2) / 24.08 = 7.15 m/s

When talking about Acceleration ,what is significant about the about the sign(+ or -)?​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Acceleration at its most basic is the act of increasing your running speed. From a standing start (or blocks), you explode into action. If you’re already running, you pick up the pace. Acceleration continues until you can no longer increase your speed, at which point you achieve maximum velocity (top-end speed). Acceleration seems simple enough. The plus means your increasing speed, the k=minus means your decreasing in speed.
