Answer: Weight only.

Explanation: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on the material in a gravitational field. Mass and weight are proportional to each other, with the acceleration due to gravity as the proportionality constant.

If a rock is transported from the moon to the earth, the mass is constant for the object but the weight will depends on the locations of the object. The gravitational acceleration would change because the radius and mass of the Moon is different from the Earth.

Thus, the object (rock) has <em>mass, m</em> both on the surface of the Earth and the surface of the Moon; but it will <em>weight</em> much less on the surface of the Moon as the Moon's surface gravity is 1/6 of the Earth.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

V(car) = V(truck) at t = Dt/2

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Explanation:

acceleration = v(car) = D/t^2

Since the average velocities must be the same, the car's final velocity must be twice the trunk velocity assuming the car start with zero velocity, since acceleration remain the same throughout the journey velocities at half-time point must be equal.

Two swimmers begin a race and Swimmer A completes each length of the pool in 30 seconds, while Swimmer B completes each length i
Anni [7]

Answer:1.33 times

Explanation:

Given

A takes 30 sec to complete each length

While B takes 40 sec to complete each length

Let L be the Length of Swimming pool Length

and V_a and V_b be the length of A & B

Thus after 5 minutes A traveled

x_a=\frac{L}{30}\times 5\times 60=10L

x_b=\frac{L}{40}\times 5\times 60=7.5L

so A is 2.5L units ahead of B

A has traveled 1.33 times than B in 5 mins

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately 71\%.

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy \rm KE of an object is:

\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2,

where

  • m is the mass of that object, and
  • v is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule (\rm J) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for \rm KE requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is \rm kg while the standard unit for speed is \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg.

Initial \rm KE of this arrow:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}.

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%.
