On planet x, an object weighs 5.51 n. on planet b where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.08 g (where g = 9.8 m/s 2 is the gravitational acceleration on earth), the object weighs 20.81 n. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the mass of the object be on earth? answer in units of kg.

Mass of object in Earth = 1.96 kg.

Explanation:

We know weight is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mass is a constant.

           W = mg

On planet X, an object weighs 5.51 N.

On planet B where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.08 g (where g = 9.8 m/s 2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth), the object weighs 20.81 N.

Mass of object in Earth = 1.96 kg.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
