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>

arlik [135]

Answer:

8.97 days

Explanation:

Assuming we are asked what will be the period of revolution, this planet's year, in Earth days?

The period of revolution T is given as

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r}{g} }

here, r= distance between planet and its sun which is same as distance between Earth-Sun = 149.7\times10^9 m

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

therefore,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{149.7\times10^9}{9.81} }

=775580 seconds

= 8.97 days

In a loading a lorry a man lifts boxes each weight 200N through a height of 3.5m.
vekshin1

The work done on the boxes and the energy spent is 700J while the power required to lift 4 boxes per minute is 2.8kW

This work done on an object is the force required to move that object from point A to point B.

Data Given;

  • Weight (mg) = 200N
  • Distance (s) = 3.5m
<h3>Work Done</h3>

This is the work done to move the boxes from point A to point B.

w = F.s\\F = ma = mg = 200N\\w = 200 * 3.5\\w = 700J

The work done to move the object is 700J

<h3>Energy</h3>

This is used to calculated the energy used to carry the work done and the formula is given as

E = force * displacement\\E = F.s\\E = 200 * 3.5\\E = 700J

The energy transferred when he lifts one box is 700J

<h3>Power</h3>

Power is the rate at which energy is used with respect to time

P = E/t\\

The energy required to lift 4 boxes in one minutes is

700 * 4 = 2800

Now we can calculate the power used

P = Energy / time\\P = 2800 / 1 \\P = 2800W = 2.8kW

The power required to move four boxes in 1 minutes is 2.8kW

From the calculations above, the following was gotten

  • work done = 700J
  • Energy = 700J
  • Power = 2800W or 2.8kW

A car weighing 15,000 is on a hydraulic lift platform measuring 10m^2. What is the area of the smaller piston if a force of 1,10
Artemon [7]

Answer:The pressure must be the same throughout the lift, so

 

P = F1/A1 = F2/A2 ⇒

 

A2 = (F2/F1)A1  

 

F2 = 1,100 N

F1 = 15,000 N

A1 = 10 m2

 

Plug in the numbers and evaluate A2.  The answer will come out in m2.

oee [108]
The most useful would be a Journal article, many (not all) possess information enough to replicate the experiment in order to increase its validity and to collaborate with the scientific community.
