If a scale on Earth reads 650 N, what is your mass?

1 answer:

4 0

If the scale reads 650N, then the mass of whoever it is standing on the scale is

(weight) / (gravity) = (650N) / (9.8 m/s²) = 66.3 kilograms .

It's not MY mass, even if I'm the one standing on the scale.
If I stand on a scale and it reads 650 N, the scale is broken.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

final displacement = +24484.5 nm

Explanation:

The path difference when 158 bright spots were observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) is given as;

Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

So, 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

Dividing both sides by 2 to get;

d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1

Where;

d1 = distance between the fixed mirror and the beam splitter

d2 = position of moveable mirror from splitter when 158 bright spots are observed

Now, the path difference between the two waves when 114 bright spots were observed is;

Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

d'2 - d1 = 57λ1

Where;

d'2 is the new position of the movable mirror from the splitter

Now, the displacement of the moveable mirror is (d2 - d'2). To get this, we will subtract eq2 from eq1.

(d2 - d1) - (d'2 - d1) = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d1 - d'2 + d1 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

We are given;

(λ1 = 656.3 nm) and λ2 = 434.0 nm.

Thus;

d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434)

d2 - d'2 = +24484.5 nm

babunello [35]

Answer:

0.00001266 m

Explanation:

D = Distance from source to screen

m = Order

d = Slit separation

The distance from a point on the screen to the center line

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

At m = 0

$y_0=0$

$y_1-y_0=35\ cm\\\Rightarrow y_1=35\ cm$

At m = 1

$y_1=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00001266\ m$

The slit separation is 0.00001266 m

A planet of mass M and radius R has no atmosphere. The escape velocity at its surface is ve. An object of mass m is at rest a di

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity

ve = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

ve² R / 2 = GM

M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the planet .

At distance r >> R , potential energy of object

= $\frac{-GMm}{r}$

Since the object is at rest at that point , kinetic energy will be zero .

Total mechanical energy = $\frac{-GMm}{r}$ + 0 = $\frac{-GMm}{r}$

Putting the value of GM = ve² R / 2

Total mechanical energy = ve² Rm / 2 r

This mechanical energy will be conserved while falling down on the earth due to law of conservation of mechanical energy . So at surface of the earth , total mechanical energy

= ve² Rm / 2 r
