ANSWER:

The Moon's gravity is less than Earth's.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When you jump, you fall back to the ground. Apples or leaves also fall: we are all attracted to the Earth. It is the terrestrial attraction due to the force of gravity.

The force of gravity also exists on the Moon. But since the Moon is smaller than the Earth, the attraction felt on the Moon is smaller than the Earth's attraction.

As the gravity is less, you can do things such as the one shown in the image.

As the force of attraction is less, the weight is less on the Moon, which can cause things that would be impossible on Earth.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released

A moving object must have which type of energy

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. ... Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. For example, a flying squirrel might collide with a stationary chipmunk.

If Mrs. Reichelt throws a chromebook, because it won't login correctly, with a force of 8N, and the chromebook accelerates at 5m

suter [353]

Answer:

1.6 kg

Step-by-step Solution:

Since Force = mass × acceleration we have:

F = 8N

a= 5 m/s^2

m = ?

By plugging the values above into F=ma we obtain:

$F=ma\\\\8=m(5)\\\\\frac{8}{5}=\frac{m(5)}{5}\\\\m=\frac{8}{5}=1.6$

Therefore, the Chromebook has a mass of 1.6 kilograms.
