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>

borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

A crate filled with delicious junk food rests on a horizontal floor. Only gravity and the support force of the floor act on it,
stealth61 [152]

The words "... as shown ..." tell us that there's a picture that goes along
with this question, and you decided not to share it.  That's sad and
disappointing, but I think the question can be answered without seeing
the picture.

The net force on the crate is zero.  Evidence for this is that fact that
the crate is just sitting there.  If the net force on an object is not zero,
then the object is accelerating ... it's either speeding up, slowing down,
or its the direction of its motion is changing.  If none of these things is
happening, then the net force on the object must be zero.
