Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is due to the gravitational pull, since the moon does not have the same force or gravity like Earth, your weight would change.

False. Looking at the equation g=GM/r^2, the mass of the object creating gravity (the moon) is directly proportional to gravitational field strength. This means that the lower the mass of the object, the weaker the gravitational field strength will be. Since the moon is nowhere near as massive as earth, the gravitational field strength is weaker than it would be on earth, meaning your weight will be different.

A 286-kg motorcycle is accelerating up along a ramp that is inclined 31.6° above the horizontal. The propulsion force pushing th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The acceleration motorcycle

a = 5.13 m / s²

Explanation:

Now to determine the acceleration of the motorcycle

Use the force to analysis motion

∑ F = m * a

∑ F = E - D - m*g * sin ( β ) = m * a

E = 3168 N

D = 230 N

β = 31.6 °

3168 N - 230 N - 286 kg * 9.8 m / s² * sin ( 31.6° ) = 286 kg * a

Now solve to a'

a = [ 3168 N - 230 N - 286 kg * 9.8 m / s² * sin ( 31.6° ) ] / (286 kg)

a = 5.13 m / s²

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and

mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart ne

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

$Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}$

Now, the frequency can be given as:

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\$

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer

B. F=ma

Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma
