Energy that transfers through the medium
The best answer is D. The SI system, which is based on the metric system, has been more widely adopted than the English system, which is harder to use. In order to standardize measurements, the International System of Units or the SI units are commonly used around the world since they are more easy to understand and compare than the English unit.
·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to
1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .
When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)
= 490 newtons .
At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is
(9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)² = 0.39 m/s² .
The boy's weight is (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)
= 19.6 newtons .
Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is
(19.6 / 490) = 0.04 = 1/25 = 1/5² of his weight on the surface.
Hi there! Lets see!
- m is mass, and its units are kg
- k is the elastic constant measured in newtons per meter (N/m), or kilograms per second squared kg/s²
Therefore:
![\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[\dfrac{kg}{s^2}]}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{[kg]}{[kg]}\cdot s^2} = \sqrt{[s]^2} = s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%5Cdfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bk%7D%7D%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Cdfrac%7B%5Bkg%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Cdfrac%7Bkg%7D%7Bs%5E2%7D%5D%7D%7D%20%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Cdfrac%7B%5Bkg%5D%7D%7B%5Bkg%5D%7D%5Ccdot%20s%5E2%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%5Bs%5D%5E2%7D%20%3D%20s)
The period is given in seconds so the formula is dimensionally correct.
Hey there! :D
Plug in what you know.
F=ma
F= force m= mass a= acceleration
200 N= m*8 ms
Divide both sides by 8.
m= 25
The mass is 25.
I hope this helps!
