Answer:

(a) 490 N on earth

(b) 80 N on earth

(c) 45.4545 kg on earth

(d) 270.27 kg on moon

Explanation:

We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth

And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon

(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg

As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N

So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N

(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg

As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N

So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N

(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth

So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg

(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs

So 100 lbs $\frac{100}{0.37}=270.27kg$

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $10^5$ kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $10^5$

So, $V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000}$ = $\frac{100}{3}$ m/s

and $V_y=\frac{160}{3}$ m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $\sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2}$

= $\sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2}$

= 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $\frac{V_y}{V_x}$ = 1.6

therefore, $\theta = \tan^{-1}1.6$

= $58 ^{\circ}$ from x-axis

g A box having mass 0,5kg is placed in front of a 20 cm compressed spring. When the spring released, box having mass m1, collide

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:Expression given below

Explanation:

Given mass of spring $\left ( m_1\right )=0.5 kg$

Compression in the spring $\left ( x\right )=20 cm$

Let the spring constant be K

Using Energy conservation

potential energy stored in spring =Kinetic energy of Block $\left ( m_1\right )$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2$

$v=x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m_1}}$

now conserving momentum

$m_1v=\left ( m_1+m_2\right )v_0$

$v_0=\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}v$

where $v_0$ is the final velocity

Describe the changes of motion when marble is moved from one viewpoint to another.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to Newton First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia); An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it.

the marble will move in a straight line
