How much does a 20 kg rock weigh on Earth where g = 9.8 m/s2?

Physics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\huge\boxed{196\:N}

Explanation:

Mass and weight ain't the same thing. So, for calculating weight we would use Newton's 2nd Law of Motion i.e. Force = Mass × Acceleration.

According to question,

The mass is 20kg

Acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2

Putting the given values into the formula,

F = 20 × 9.8

F = 196N

So, the weight of the rock is 196 N

Hope it helps!<3

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = =\frac{20}{10}=2sec

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
