The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg

Physics
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0

 Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

                                 500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²: 

                                 Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                          =    51 kg  (rounded) .

Distance = 6 km south<br><br> 60 minutes<br><br> What was the average velocity
blsea [12.9K]

v = x/t

v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time

Given values:

x = 6km south, t = 60min

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 6/60

v = 0.1km/min south

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist
Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

Answer:

Option A nuclear

Explanation:

The rate of electricity production in nuclear power plant is much higher as compared to the rate of electricity generation in gas, wind and solar power plants.

Thus, in case where large amount of electricity is to be produced in a short period then one must rely on nuclear power plants.

Therefore, option A is correct
