What is the mass of an object weighing 63 N on Earth?
avanturin [10]
Weight expressed in Newtons is expressed in the equation whereby Weight= the mass of an object * the force of gravity. The force of gravity on earth is a constant 9.8 meters per second squared. Therefore if weight (w) = 63 N and the force of gravity is 63 N then the mass must equal 6.43 kg. Because the equation for weight is w=mg so 63 N (w) = m * 9.8 m/s^2.

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg
Yanka [14]
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

. A lightbulb with a resistance of 2.9 ohms is operated using a 1.5-volt battery. At what rate is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A light bulb has a resistance of 2.9ohms

R = 2.9 ohms

And a battery of 1.5V is applied

V = 1.5 V

We want to find the rate of energy transformed

First we need to know what rate of energy is

Rate of energy implies that we want to find power. Power is the rate at which work is done

P = Workdone / time

Then,

In electronic, the power dissipated by a resistor is given as

P = V² / R

P = 1.5² / 2.9

P = 0.7759 W

P ≈ 0.776 W

So, the rate at which electrical energy transformed in the lightbulb is 0.776 Watts
