Answer:

8.1 N/49 N=0.1653 which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.

Explanation:

On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ , the weight of the 5 kg object will be: $weight_M=m*g_M = 5 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} =8.1 N$

Where the answer is in Newtons (N) since all quantities are given in the SI system.

On Earth, on the other hand, the weight of the object is:

$weight_E=m*g_E= 5 kg* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 49N$

Therefore the object's weight on the Moon compared to that on Earth will be:

$8.1N/49N=0.1653$

That is, 16.53% of the weight the object has on Earth.

In a nuclear reactor 1 g of mass is converted into energy. How much energy in Joules is produced?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

3 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5 J

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol

san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

$Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}$

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}$

$n=0.221mol$

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

$\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}$

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

$\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g$

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

A solid cylinder of mass 10 kg is pivoted about a frictionless axis thought the center O. A rope wrapped around the outer radius

taurus [48]

Torque acting dowward = 6 x 0.5 = 3 Nm

Torque acting to the right = 5 x 1 = 5 Nm

5 - 3 = 2 Nm

inertia = 1/2 mr^2

0.5 x 10 x 1^2 = 5 kg-m^2
2/5 = alpha = 0.4 rad /s^2

Hope this helps

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied

never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

Force = Pressure x area

Force = 300 x 0.02 = 6N
