Glass as it is heavier and by newtons first law and inertia the greater the mass = more inertia(resistance to chabge in motion) thus the glass has a greater mass than an empty paper cup and thus has greater inertia. So it would be easier to leave it in place

The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth. Calculate the weight on the moon of an object that has a mass of 24 k
ad-work [718]
When we say "<span>The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s</span>²) on the Earth's surface, so
<span>it would be (9.8/6 m/s</span>²) on the Moon's surface.
<span>
The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) </span>· (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .
<span>
If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is 

(24 kg) </span>· (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

HOW FAR DOES A UNICYCLE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 20 M/S FOR 15 SECONDS?​
astra-53 [7]

Given:-

  • Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
  • Time taken = 15 s

To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

  • s = Distance travelled,
  • v = Speed &
  • t = Time taken.

Therefore,

s = (20 m/s)(15 s)

→ s = (20 m)(15)

→ s = 300 m (Ans.)

Suppose the student in (Figure 1) is 68kg, and the board being stood on has a 12kg mass. What is the reading on the left scale?
lesantik [10]

The equilibrium conditions allow to find the results for the balance forces are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F₂ = 558.6 N

When the acceleration is zero we have the equilibrium conditions for both linear and rotational motion.

            ∑ F = 0

            ∑ τ = 0

           

Where F are the forces and τ the torques.

The torque  is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point of support,

The free-body diagrams are diagrams of the forces without the details of the bodies, see attached for the free-body diagram of the system.

We write the translational equilibrium condition.

           F₁ - W₁ - W₂ + F₂ = 0

We write the equation for the rotational motion, set our point of origin at scale 1, and the counterclockwise turns are positive.

         F₂ 2 - W₁ 1 - W₂ 1.5 = 0\frac{W_1  \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5}{2}

Let's calculate F₂

         F₂ = \frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5 }{2}  

         F₂ = (m g + M g 1.5)/ 2

         F₂ = \frac{(12 + 68 \ 1.5 ) \  9.8}{2}  

         F₂ = 558.6 N

We substitute in the translational equilibrium equation.

         F₁ = W₁ + W₂ - F₂

         F₁ = (m + M) g - F₂

         F₁ = (12 +68) 9.8 - 558.6

         F₁ = 225.4 N

In conclusion using the equilibrium conditions we can find the forces of the balance are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F2 = 558.6 N

Which substance is a combination of different atoms?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Heterogeneous

Explanation:

A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule. A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the various components can be visually distinguished.

Two people stand facing each other at roller skating rink then push off each other
9966 [12]

a) 0 kg m/s

b) 0 kg m/s

c) +3 m/s

d) 60 N

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, we have a system of two people, so the total momentum will be the sum of the individual momenta of the two people:

p=p_1 + p_2

Which can be rewritten as

p=m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2

where m_1,m_2 are the masses of the two people and u_1,u_2 their initial velocities.

However, the two people are initially at rest, so

u_1 = 0\\u_2 = 0

Therefore the total momentum is

p=0+0=0

b)

The principle of conservation of momentum states that when there are no external forces acting on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved, so we can write:

p_i = p_f

where

p_i is the total momentum of the system before

p_f is the total momentum of the system after

In this problem,

p_i = 0

As we calculated in part a: this is because the total momentum of the two people before they push off each other is zero.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

p_f = p_i = 0

So the total momentum is zero also after they push off each other.

c)

The total momentum of the girl and the boy after they push off each other can be written as:

p_f = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 (1)

where:

m_1 = 30 kg is the mass of the girl

v_1 = -5 m/s is her velocity (she moves backward, so the negative sign)

m_2 = 50 kg is the mass of the boy

v_2 is the velocity of the boy

As calculated in part b), we also know that the total momentum of the girl and the boy is

p_f = 0 (2)

By combining eq(1) and eq(2) we get

0=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

And solving for v2 we find the velocity of the boy:

v_2=-\frac{m_1 v_1}{m_2}=-\frac{(30)(-5)}{50}=+3 m/s

and the positive sign means he is moving forward.

d)

We can solve this part by applying the impulse theorem, which states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the product between the force applied on it and the duration of the collision:

\Delta p = F\Delta t

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum

F is the force

\Delta t is the time during which the force is applied

In this problem:

\Delta t = 2.5 s

For the boy, the change in momentum is:

\Delta p = m_2 (v_2 - u_2)

And since

m_2 = 50 kg\\u_2 = 0 m/s\\v_2 = 3 m/s

We have

\Delta p = (50)(3-0)=150 kg m/s

So, the force exerted between the boy and the girl is:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{150}{2.5}=60 N
