Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.
The feather's weight is . . .
On Earth: (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>
On the Moon: (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>
The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference. In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup. Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth. It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
Answer:
The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .
Explanation:
Given;
maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft
initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s
final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0
Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.
v² = u² + 2as
0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a
-900a = 7747.5204
a = -7747.5204 / 900
a = -8.61 ft/s²
|a| = 8.61 ft/s²
Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .
Im sure the answer is letter B
