The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth? 9. 8 N 75 N 85 N 735 N.

1 answer:

3 0

The weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

CALCULATE WEIGHT:

Weight is a force, hence, measured in Newton. It is a function of an object's mass in relation to gravity.

Weight of an object can be calculated using the following formula:

W = mg

Where;

W = weight (N)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The weight of the person in this question can be calculated as follows:

W = 75 × 9.8

W = 735N

Therefore, the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane $h=6\ miles$

When Airplane is $s=10\ miles$ away

Distance is changing at the rate of $\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph$

From diagram we can write as

$h^2+x^2=s^2$

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

$2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}$

as altitude is not changing therefore $\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}$

at $s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles$

substitute the value we get $x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles$

$8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph$

When a fluid flows over an object, the "friction drag": __________.A.is the drag due to the shear stress only. B. depends only o

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow

Explanation:

what is friction drag?

friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation
