Answer:

417.5 kg

Explanation:

Since the gravitational for of attraction F, equals the weight of the object W when its close to the earth, F = GMm/R² = W = mg where m = mass of object and g = acceleration due to gravity close to the earth = 9.8 m/s².

g = GM/R² where  g = acceleration due to gravity close to the earth, G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth = 5.927 × 10²⁴ kg and R = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m

So, g = GM/R²

= 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 5.927 × 10²⁴ kg/(6.4 × 10⁶ m)²

= 39.53 × 10¹³ Nm²/kg ÷ 40.96 × 10¹² m²

= 9.65 N/kg

≅ 9.7 N/kg

= 9.7 m/s²

Since W = 4050 N and W = mg

m = W/g = 4050 N/9.7 m/s²

= 417.53 kg

≅ 417.5 kg

So, the mass of the object is 417.5 kg

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper.  Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely.  Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1
