Calculate the weight of an object on earth surface having 600km from surface of earth?
Your question seems to contradict itself. You said "on Earth surface" and then you said "600 km from surface of the Earth" ... both in the same sentence.
I'll assume that the object is actually 600 km from surface of the Earth, because that makes the question (and the answer) more interesting.
We know that the weight of any object is (mass) x (gravity). Those are the two numbers we need in order to calculate the object's weight. Mysteriously, you haven't told us either one. We'll call the object's mass ' M ' (clever, eh ?), and we'll calculate the value of gravity up there where the object is located.
We now that the acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of two objects. When an object is on the Earth's surface, it's 6,371 km from Earth's center, and the acceleration of gravity there is 9.8 m/s².
The object in the question is 600 km farther from Earth's center, so the acceleration of gravity there is
(9.8 m/s²) · (6371 / 6971)² = 8.2 m/s².
So the object's weight is (8.2 M) Newtons.
This is about 84% of its weight on Earth's surface.
(Notice that the astronauts aboard the International Space Station are NOT "weightless". The strength of gravity up there where they are is around 84% of what it is down on the ground. The question of why they float, and why their muscles waste away, is a topic for another Brainly question.)

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?
0°C
ОС
0°K
ОК
Answer: 0 Kelvin, or 0°K.
Explanation:
The Kelvin scale is used primarily in scientific applications due to the unit's lack of negative values.
0 Kelvin is equivalent to "absolute zero", or the temperature at which molecules and atoms no longer physically move.
0 Celsius on the other hand is a system based on the freezing and boiling points of water. 0 Celsius is the freezing point and 100 Celsius is the boiling point.
A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it take the wheel to make one revolution ?
Answer:
t = 6.17 s
Explanation:
For a 1 revolution movement, [tex]\triangle \theta = 2\pi[/tex]
Torque, [tex]\tau = 50 Nm[/tex]
Moment of Inertia, [tex]I = 150 kg m^2[/tex]
If the wheel starts from rest, [tex]w_{0} = 0 rad/s[/tex]
The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:
[tex]\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2[/tex]................(1)
Where [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the angular acceleration
[tex]\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2[/tex]
To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)
[tex]2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s[/tex]

why the shape of the earth is spherical
Answer:
The Earth is massive enough that the pull of gravity maintains its roughly spherical shape. Most of its deviation from spherical stems from the centrifugal force caused by rotation around its north-south axis. This force deforms the sphere into an oblate ellipsoid.
1a. Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion, how much water stored behind a 50cm high hydroelectric dam would be required to charge a 50 ampere-minute 12 volt battery with 600j of energy stored in it
Answer:
7.22 m³ of water should be stored behind the hydroelectric dam.
Explanation:
First we find the total energy that can be stored in the battery. For that purpose we use the formula:
P = VI
where,
P = Power delivered by battery
V = Voltage of Battery = 12 volts
I = Current in Battery
Multiplying both sides by time interval (t), we get:
Pt = VIt
where,
Pt = (Power)(Time) = Total Energy Stored in Battery = E = ?
It = Current Rating of Battery = (50 A.min)(60 s/min) = 3000 A.s
Therefore,
E = (12 volt)(3000 A.s)
E = 36000 J
Now, we have to find the energy required to fully charge the battery:
Energy Required = ΔE = Total Energy Capacity(E) - Already Stored Energy
ΔE = 36000 J - 600 J
ΔE = 35400 J
Now, this energy must be equal to the potential energy of water stored behind hydroelectric dam to fully charge the battery, provided that the conversion efficiency is 100 %.
Therefore,
ΔE = mgh
where,
m = mass of water behind hydroelectric dam
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = height of dam = 50 cm = 0.5 m
Therefore,
35400 J = m(9.8 m/s²)(0.5 m)
m = (35400 J)/(4.9 m²/s²)
m = 7224.5 kg
Now, to find the volume of stored water, we use:
ρ = m/V
V = m/ρ
where,
ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³
V = Volume of water behind dam = ?
V = (7224.5 kg)/(1000 kg/m³)
V = 7.22 m³

Answer:
Option A: F/4
Explanation:
Centripetal force, [tex]F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]
Where v = speed
r = radius
Since Kinetic Energy, [tex]E_{k} = 0.5 mv^{2}[/tex]
Writing centripetal force in terms of kinetic energy, [tex]F = \frac{2 E_k}{r}[/tex]
If the initial radius of the circle, r₁ =r
The doubled radius, r₂ = 2r
If the initial kinetic energy, [tex]KE_1 = E_{k}[/tex]
The halved kinetic energy, [tex]KE_2 = 0.5E_{k}[/tex]
Therefore, the new Centripetal force becomes:
[tex]F_{2} = \frac{2(0.5 E_k)}{2r} \\F_{2} = \frac{0.5 E_k}{r}\\F_{2} =\frac{1}{4} * \frac{2 E_k}{r}\\Since, F = \frac{2 E_k}{r} \\F_{2} =\frac{1}{4} * F\\F_{2} =\frac{F}{4}[/tex]
Standing on top of a building, Bob tosses a baseball straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s. It takes 4.0 s for the ball to hit the ground. What is the vertical distance of the building? (g = -9.8 m/s²)
Answer:
48.26 m
Explanation:
time to goes up (till stop for a while in the air - maximum height)
vt = vo + a t
0 = 15 + g . t
0 = 15 + (-9.8) . t
9.8t = 15
t = 1.531 s
so the time left to goes down is
4.0 - 1.531 = 2.469 s
height from the top of building can find it by using
vo =√(2gh)
15 = √(2)(9.8).h
15² = 19.6h
h = 225/19.6 = 11.48 m
so the distance of maximum height to the ground is
t = √(2H/g)
2.469 = √(2H/9.8)
2.469² = 2H/9.8
6.096 = 2H/9.8
2H = 6.096 x 9.8 = 59.74 m
so the vertical distance of the building (or the building height's is)
H - h = 59.74 - 11.48 = 48.26 m

A 1.00 kg block of ice, at -25.0°C, is warmed by 35 kJ of energy. What is the final temperature of the ice?
Answer:
-8.4°C
Explanation:
From the principle of heat capacity.
The heat sustain by an object is given as;
H = m× c× (T2-T1)
Where H is heat transferred
m is mass of substance
T2-T1 is the temperature change from starting to final temperature T2.
c- is the specific heat capacity of ice .
Note : specific heat capacity is an intrinsic capacity of a substance which is the energy substained on a unit mass of a substance on a unit temperature change.
Hence ; 35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))
35= c× ( T2+25)
35 =2.108×( T2+25)
( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°{ approximated to 2 decimal place}
T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C
C, specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK{you can google that}
To solve this we must be knowing each and every concept related to energy. Therefore, -8.40°C is the final temperature of the ice.
What is energy?In physics, energy is the capacity to accomplish work. It can be potential, kinetic, temperature, electrical, chemical, radioactive, or in other forms.
There is also heat and work—energy inside the process of being transferred through one body to the other. Energy is always classified according to its type once it has been transmitted. As a result, heat transported could become thermal energy, whereas labor done may emerge as mechanical energy.
H = m× c× (T2-T1)
35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))
35= c× ( T2+25)
specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK
35 =2.108×( T2+25)
( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°
T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C
Therefore, -8.40°C is the final temperature of the ice.

E=80 percent.
Mark brianliest if my answer suit your question
If the machine put, in 8000 J, and the user puts 10,000 J of work then the efficiency of the machine will be equal to 80%.
What is Work?Work is a physics term used to describe the transfer of energy that takes place when an object changes above a distance because of an external force, at least some of which is given in the vector of the dislocation. The element of the force acting all along the path multiplied by the length of the path can be used to calculate work if the force is constant.
Mathematically, this idea is expressed as W = fd, where W is the effort and f is the force multiplied by d, the distance. Work is completed whenever the force is applied at an angle with about the displacement.
As per the data provided in the question,
Total input energy = 10,000 J
Total output energy = 8,000 J
Then, the efficiency (η) of the machine will be,
η = (output energy/input energy) × 100
η = 8000/10000 × 100
η = 80%.

Concrete and steel expand to almost the same amount when they are heated. Explain why you think this is lucky?
Answer:
While making a bridge or a building, the first thing that comes to our mind is that these are always made by the combination of concrete and steel. Concrete is cheap, but it has the property of breaking when it is twisted or under tension. Steel is expensive, If we made the whole thing with it, it will cost a lot. To provide strength under a reasonable cost, we use the combination of concrete and steel. Another postive point which they have together is that they both expand equally under heat, because they have the same coefficient of thermal expansion. It proves really useful, because if they had different coefficients of thermal expansions, one would expand more than the other, which will create tensions in the mixture and would break it easily. In the case, many cracks would start to appear in the bridge or buildings, which will eventually break them.

Where P.E = potential Energy, m = mass of the water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 100 tonnes = (100×1000) = 100000 kg, h = 200 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
P.E = 100000(200)(9.8)
P.E = 196000000 J.
Note: When a object falls through a height he losses its potential energy.
Hence the potential energy lost = 196000000 J = 196 MJ.
why the weight of a body decreases with increases in distance from the earth's surface
because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases
Answer:
Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases , the "gravitational force" decreases.
