Why do astronauts weigh less on the moon than on earth

Physics
2 answers:
alexgriva [62]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation: The moon of the Earth is much lighter in mass than the planet itself. In addition to being smaller than Earth, the Moon is also only approximately 60% as dense. A human weighs less on the Moon because there is less gravitational attraction there than there is on Earth.

Moon has lesser mass as conpared to earth, therefore gravitational force exerted by moon on any object is lesser than that of gravitational force exerted by earth on the same object, hence we can say that astronauts weight less on moon, i.e approximately 1/6 th of their weight on earth.

I have an algerbra 2 question.
Andreyy89

In order to find out if the exponential function represents a growth or a decay, let's look at the number that is base to the exponent x.

If the number is greater than 1, so the function represents a growth, and if the number is less than 1, the function represents a decay.

Since the number is 1.075, the function represents a growth.

To find the % increase, first let's convert the number to percentage, and then subtract 100%:

\begin{gathered} 1.075=1.075\cdot100\text{\%}=107.5\text{\%} \\ 107.5\text{\%}-100\text{\%}=7.5\text{\%} \end{gathered}

So the percent increase is 7.5%.

Mean arterial pressure is ________ (indirectly/directly) proportional to ________ and ________ (indirectly/directly) proportiona
g100num [7]

Answer: Mean Arterial Pressure is directly proportional to Cardiac Output and Systemic Vascular Resistance and also directly proportional to Central Venous Pressure.

Explanation: Based on the relationship of flow, pressure and resistance, the mean arterial pressure is determined by the cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and central venous pressure (CVP). This relationship is given by:

MAP = (CO x SVR) + CVP

Which is alternatively expressed as:

MAP = CO x SVR (this is because at any point in time in blood circulation, the central venous pressure is always near to zero mmHg.

Due to this direct relationship, any factor affecting the cardiac output and the Systemic Vascular Resistance would cause a corresponding change in the Mean Arterial Pressure.

It is also worthy to note that If Cardiac Output and Systemic Vascular Resistance change reciprocally (inversely) and proportionately, then Mean Arterial Pressure will not change. The plotted graph is one of positive slope.

The whole relationship occurs when blood is pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta and distributing arteries, creating pressure.

Can anyone help me on this problem, I’m confused. Thanks
gregori [183]
The answer would be C. velocity. When white light enters a prism it is refracted. This refraction is caused due to a change in velocity (generally speaking, velocity is considered speed in some cases) when entering the prism. In other words, when light enters a prism at an angle, the glass slows down the light causing the light to split into different colors.
