Which statement best explains why an object weight less on mercury than it does on earth

1 answer:

5 0

This is because planet weigh different amount and force of gravity is different from planet to planet for example if your weigh on earth is 100 pound than on mercury is only 78 pounds

Suppose a constant net force of 345 N is applied to slide a heavy stationary couch across the

ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns

A charge of q= +15 uC moves in a Northeast direction with a speed 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field, pointing North, wi

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of charge, $q=15\ \mu C=15\times 10^{-6}\ C$

It moves in northeast direction with a speed of 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field.

Magnetic field, $B=0.08\ j$

Velocity, $v=(5\ cos25)i+(5\ sin25)j$

$v=[(4.53)i+(2.11)j]\ m/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force on the charge. Magnetic force is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i+2.11j)\times 0.08\ j]$

<em>Since</em>, $i\times j=k\ and\ j\times j=0$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i)\times (0.08)\ j]$

$F=0.00000543\ kN$

$F=5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$

So, the force acting on the charge is $5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$ and is moving in positive z axis. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 45-gram object that has a volume of 9 mL has a density of

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

<h2> The answer is </h2><h2>a. 5g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 45g

volume v= 9mL

we know that density=m/v

substituting our given data we have

$density=\frac{45}{9} =5g/mL$

What is Density?

The Density of a body can be defined as the ratio of mass to volume,

Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is $Density= \frac{mass}{volume}$ ,

where d is density,

M is mass, and

V is volume.

Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre.

What is the force on a 1,000 kilogram-elevator that is falling freely under the acceleration of gravity only?

likoan [24]

   Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

   = (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

   = 9,800 newtons

Why are you still having a problem with F = M · a ?
