I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth. Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.

HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.

<span>Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.</span>

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

planning charts used to schedule resources and allocate time is the correct answer

Explanation:

  • Gantt Charts are a project planning tool used to track the projects from the start to endpoint.
  • Gantt charts are used for the preparation and planning of the projects.
  • By using Gantt charts we can assess how much time a project would take to complete and we can also determine resources required with the help of Gantt charts.

How far will a 70N crate is move with 3500J of work
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Work = Force * distance
Force = 70 N
Work = 3500 J

3500 = 70d
d = 3500/70 = 50 m

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 107 m/s to 4.0 × 107 m/s over a distance
jeka94

Answer:

1.8\times 105 N/C

Explanation:

We are given that

u=2\times 10^7 m/s

v=4\times 10^7 m/s

d=1.9 cm=\frac{1.9}{100}=0.019 m

Using 1m=100 cm

We have to find the electric field strength.

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2a(0.019)

16\times 10^{14}-4\times 10^{14}=0.038a

0.038a=12\times 10^{14}

a=\frac{12}{0.038}\times 10^{14}=3.16\times 10^{16}m/s^2

q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Mass of electron,m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg

E=\frac{ma}{q}

Substitute the values

E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.16\times 10^{16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E=1.8\times 105 N/C
