Suppose you are talking by interplanetary telephone to your friend, who lives on the Moon. He tells you that he has just won a n

ewton of gold in a contest. Excitedly, you tell him that you entered the Earth version of the same contest and also won a newton of gold! Who is richer?

Answer:

The friend on moon will be richer.

Explanation:

We must calculate the mass of gold won by each person, to tell who is richer. For that purpose we will use the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass of gold

W = weight of gold

g = acceleration due to gravity on that planet

<u>FOR FRIEND ON MOON</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 1.625 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(1.625 m/s²)

m(moon) = 0.6 kg

<u>FOR ME ON EARTH</u>:

W = 1 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (1 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m(earth) = 0.1 kg

Since, the mass of gold on moon is greater than the mass of moon on earth.

<u>Therefore, the friend on moon will be richer.</u>

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the
exis [7]

Answer:

113.7

Explanation:

maximum distance (s) = 8.9 km

reference intensity (I0) = 1 x 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

power of a juvenile howler monkey (p) = 63 x 10^{-6} W

distance (r) = 210 m

intensity (I) = power/area

where we assume the area of a sphere due to the uniformity of the output in all directions

area = 4πr^{2} =  4π x 210^{2} = 554,176.9 m^{2}

intensity (I) = \frac{63 x 10^{-6} }{554,176.9} = 113.7 x 10^{-12}

therefore the desired ratio I/I0 = \frac{113.7 x 10^{-12}}{1 x 10^{-12}} = 113.7

Military specifications often call for electronic devices to be able to withstand accelerations of 10 g. to make sure that their
trapecia [35]
The solution for this problem is:
(10 x 9.8) = 98.1 m/sec^2 acceleration. Time, to travel 9.4cm or (.094m.), at acceleration of 98m/sec^2

= sqrt(2d/a), = sqrt (98.1 m/sec^2/0.094m) = 32.3050619 sec per cycle

Frequency = (w/2pi), = 32.3050619/2pi
= 32.3050619/6.28318531
= 5.14 Hz would be the answer

The loudness of a sound is inversely proportional to the square of your distance from the source of the sound. if your friend is
kirill [66]
Let loudness be L, distance be d, and k be the constant of variation such that the equation that would best represent the given above is,
                    L = k/(d^2)
For Case 1,
                       L1 = k/(d1^2)
For Case 2,
                       L2 = k/((d1/4)^2)
For k to be equal, L1 = 16L2. 
Therefore, the loudness at your friend's position is 16 times that of yours.

I take 1.0 kg of ice and dump it into 1.0 kg of water and, when equilibrium is reached, I have 2.0 kg of ice at 0°C. The water w
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

.c. −160°C

Explanation:

In the whole process one kg of water at  0°C loses heat to form one kg of ice and heat lost by them is taken up by ice at −160°C . Now see whether heat lost is equal to heat gained or not.

heat lost by 1 kg of water at  0°C

= mass x latent heat

= 1 x 80000 cals

= 80000 cals

heat gained by ice at −160°C to form ice at  0°C

= mass x specific heat of ice x rise in temperature

= 1 x .5 x 1000 x 160

= 80000 cals

so , heat lost = heat gained.
