Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!!

A person weighs 60 kg. The area under the foot of the person is 150 cm2. Find the pressure exerted on the ground by the person.
9966 [12]

Answer:

40000 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying,

P =  F/A................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.

From the question,

The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.

F = W = mg............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A................ Equation 3

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (60×10)/0.015

P = 600/0.015

P = 40000 N/m²

A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth (frictionless) ramp that makes an angle of 30^\circ30 ​∘ ​​ with the horizontal. What is
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the surface is frictionless therefore there will be no friction force on block but there will be weight of block which we can divide in to two components i.e. mgcosθ &mgsinθ which is perpendicular and parallel to the surface respectively.

In response to mgcosθ ramp will apply a normal force to the block which will be of equal magnitude to that of mgcosθ.

Therefore Ramp will apply a Force of mgcosθ on block where m is the mass of block.

Use pythagorean's theorem for this, with 7 as a and 5 as b. pythagorean's theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so 7^2 * 5^2 = c^2. this gives you 49 + 25 = c^2, so 74 = c^2. c = sqrt 74, which is approximately 8.60 km
