Weight is a force, so we use newtons second law which states F=ma. So the weight of a watermelon on earth is 2kg x 9.81m/s², which is 19.62N (newtons). On the moon it weighs 2 x 1.63 which is 3.26N.
The weight of the pen is 0.02 x 9.81, which is 0.1962N. If the pen is not to fall the frictional force needs to be equal to this force, so the answer is 0.1962N.
Explanation:
The force between two charges is given by :
k is electrostatic constant
r is distance between charges
The force between charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer:
The magnitude of the boy's displacement is 24.698 paces which is in the direction of approximately 58.24° North of East
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The distance West the boy on a treasure hunt walks = 12 paces
The distance North the boy on a treasure hunt then walks = 21 paces
The distance East the boy on a treasure hunt then walks = 25 paces
Writing the displacement in vector format, gives;
d = -12·i + 21·j + 25·i
Which gives
d = 13·i + 21·j
The magnitude of the boy's resultant displacement is given as follows;
Where;
The magnitude of the boy's displacement is 24.698 paces
The direction of the displacement is tan⁻¹(21/13) ≈ 58.24° North of East.
