The slope of a speed-time graph is the acceleration represented by the graph.
All other parts of this question refer to a lab experiment or exercise
where I was not present, but Zeesam16 was. Therefore I have no data
with which to answer the rest of the question, and hope that Zeesam can
handle it.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector
D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i + 255 sin49 j
= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j
Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is
D = 125 i
So
D₁ + D₂ = D
- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i
D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j
= 292.29 i - 192.45 j
Angle of D₂ with x axes θ
tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29
= - 0.658
θ = 33.33 south of east
Magnitude of D₂
D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²
D₂ = 350 km approx
Tan
Answer:
(a) 61.25 N
(b) 6.25 kg
(c) 6.25 Kg
Explanation:
Weight on moon = 10 N
Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2
Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2
Let m be the mass of the package.
(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth
Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N
(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon
10 = m x 1.6
m = 6.25 kg
(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.
It contains no large maria
Gravity obeys the inverse square law. At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x. Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th. Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th. 4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km. But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer: 19,200 km.
Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way. At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
