Answer:
This is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.
Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N
On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.
Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.
Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.

A potential difference of 107 mV exists between the inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane. The inner surface is negative relative to the outer surface. How much work is required to eject a positive sodium ion (Na ) from the interior of the cell?
Answer:
The workdone is [tex]W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The potential difference is [tex]V = 107 mV = 107 *10^{-3} \ V[/tex]
Generally the charge on [tex]Na^{+}[/tex] is [tex]Q_{Na^{+}} = 1.60 *10^{-19 } \ C[/tex]
Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as
[tex]W = Q_{Na^{+}}V[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.60 *10^{-19 } * 107 *10^{-3}[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J[/tex]

Which is increased when the string of a stringed instrument is tightened?
timbre
pitch
wavelength
loudness
When the string of the instrument is tightened then the length of the string decreases hence the pitch and frequency will increase so, option B is correct.
What is pitch?The frequency at which the sound waves that create a sound vibrate determines its pitch. High-frequency sound waves produce high-pitched noises, and low-frequency sound waves make low-pitched noises. The ability to discern between harsh and flat sounds is known as pitch.
A string will vibrate at a varied frequency depending on its length. Higher frequency and higher pitch are produced by shorter strings.
The pitch rises as the anxiety does as well. A string's length is also crucial. A string vibrates and makes music when it is supported at two points and pulled. The pitch of this string will, however, rise if the length is shortened.

If 500 cal of heat are added to a gas, and the gas expands doing 500 J of work on its surroundings, what is the change in the internal energy of the gas?
Answer:
The change in the internal energy of the gas 1,595 J
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics establishes that in an isolated system energy is neither created nor destroyed, but undergoes transformations; If mechanical work is applied to a system, its internal energy varies; If the system is not isolated, part of the energy is transformed into heat that can leave or enter the system; and finally an isolated system is an adiabatic system (heat can neither enter nor exit, so no heat transfer takes place.)
This is summarized in the expression:
ΔU= Q - W
where the heat absorbed and the work done by the system on the environment are considered positive.
Taking these considerations into account, in this case:
Q= 500 cal= 2,092 J (being 1 cal=4.184 J) W=500 JReplacing:
ΔU= 2,092 J - 500 J
ΔU= 1,592 J whose closest answer is 1,595 J
The change in the internal energy of the gas 1,595 J

Given that "mass" multiply by constant “k” is equal to "energy" divided by
“height”. Determine, by using dimensions of each, which physical quantity is
represented by “k”?
Answer:
K must be an acceleration
Explanation:
Recall that unit of energy consists the following dimensions:
mass * length^2 / time^2
then if we have : mass * K = energy / length
then the units of K can be obtained by replacing the units of energy by (mass * length^2 / time^2), and then dividing by units of mass:
K = (mass * length^2 / time^2)/ (length * mass)
where we cancel out units of mass, and one unit of length resulting in units of length divided units of time squared. and such are units of acceleration. Therefore K must be an acceleration.
What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged?
Answer:
Potential difference and charge will also increase.
Explanation:
Asking that :
What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged?
The charge is directly proportional to area of the plate. That is, increase in area of the plate of a capacitor will lead to the increase in the charges between the plates.
And since charge is also proportional to the magnitude of potential difference between the plates from the definition of capacitance of a capacitor which says that:
Q = CV
Therefore, increase in the area of the plate will also lead to increase in potential difference between the plates.
Therefore, if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged, the charge and potential difference between them will also increase.

In a warehouse, the workers sometimes slide boxes along the floor to move them. Two boxes were sliding toward each other and crashed. The crash caused both boxes to change speed. Based on the information in the diagram, which statement is correct? In your answer, explain what the forces were like and why the boxes changed speed.
Box 1 has more mass than Box 2.
Box 1 and Box 2 are the same mass.
Box 1 has less mass than Box 2.
**YOU MUST BE DESCRIPTIVE! Any short answers not explaining it wont get brainliest!**
Answer:
box 1 has larger mass than box 2
Explanation:
We need to consider the linear momentum of the boxes immediately before and after they crash.
Recall that momentum is defined as mass times velocity.
So for before the collision, the linear momentum of the system of two boxes is:
m1 * 4km/h - m2 * 8km/h
with m1 representing mass "1" on the left, and m2 representing mass 2 on the right.
Notice the sign of the linear momentum (one positive (moving towards the right) and the other one negative (moving towards the left)
For after the collision, we have or the linear momentum of the system:
- m1 * 2km/h - m2 * 1km/h
Then, since the linear momentum is conserved in the collision, we make the initial momentum equal the final and study the mass relationship between m1 and m2:
4 m1 - 8 m2 = - 2 m1 - m2
combining like terms for each mas on one side and another of the equal sign, we get;
4 m1 + 2 m1 = 8 m2 - m2
6 m1 = 7 m2
therefore m1 = (7/6) m2
which (since 7/6 is a number larger than one) tells us that m1 is larger than m2 by a factor of 7/6
Therefore, answer 1 is the correct answer.

A bicycle mechanic is checking a road bike's chain. He applies force F = 48 N to a pedal at the angle shown in (Figure 1) while keeping the wheel from rotating. The pedal is 17 cm from the center of the crank; the gear has a diameter of 16 cm.
Answer:
T = 102.3 ≈ 100
Explanation:
r(pedal) = 17 cm = 0.017 m
r(gear) = 16 cm / 2 = 8 cm = 0.008 m
θ = 180°-110° = 70°
F = 48 N
T = ?
τ₁ = r(pedal)*F*cosθ = (0.017 m)(48 N)cos(70°) = 0.28 N*m (*negative because it is applied clockwise)
τ₂ = -τ₁ = -(-0.28 N*m) = 0.28 N*m
τ₂ = r(gear)*T*cosθ
T = τ₂÷(r(gear)*cosθ) = 0.28 N*m ÷ (0.008 m * cos(70°))
T = 102.3 ≈ 100 ( 2 sig figs)
A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball straight up inthe air. The ball reaches a maximum height H, measuredfrom the equilibrium position of the spring. The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far before firing. How far up does the ball go this time?
Answer:
H' = H/4
Explanation:
By applying the law of conservation of energy to this problem, we know that:
Elastic Potential Energy Stored by Spring = Gravitational Potential Energy of ball
(1/2)kx² = mgH
H = (1/2)kx²/mg -------------- equation (1)
where,
H = Height reached by the ball
x = compression of spring
k = stiffness of spring
m = mass of ball
g = acceleration due to gravity
Now, if we make the compression to half of its value:
x' = x/2
then:
H' = (1/2)k(x/2)²/mg
H' = (1/4)(1/2)kx²/mg
using equation (1), we get:
H' = H/4
A crate is pulled due south with a force of 350. N. What other force must be applied if the
net force on the crate is 425 N due north? Enter the magnitude (with units) and direction
(north, south, east, west).
Answer:
775 N due North.
Explanation:
If the crate is pulled South with 350 N force, and the net force on the crate results into 425 N due North, then the other force (F) acting must be larger than the 350 N, and pointing North:
F - 350 N = 425 N
F = 425 N + 350 N = 775 N due North.
Help!!! Need answer ASAP.
Answer:
a = 11.03 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
ΣF = m*a
where:
F = force = 160000 [N]
m = mass = 14500 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
160000 = 14500*a
a = 11.03 [m/s²]
Two identical bars are conducting heat from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature. In arrangement A, the bars conduct 80 J of heat in a certain amount of time. How much heat is conducted in B during the same time
Answer:
Q' = 320 J
Explanation:
The arrangements are given in attachment. The Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction states that:
Q = KAΔT/L
where,
Q = Heat Transferred
K = Constant (Conduction Coefficient)
A = Surface Area of Heat Transfer
ΔT = Difference of Temperature between two surfaces
L = Length between surfaces
For Arrangement AL
Q = 80 J
Therefore,
80 = KAΔT/L ------------- equation (1)
Now, for arrangement B:
A' = 2 A (As, the rods are now connected in parallel with each other)
L' = L/2
Therefore,
Q' = K(2A)ΔT/(L/2)
Q' = 4 KAΔT/L
using equation (1)
Q' = 4(80 J)
Q' = 320 J
