We know, weight = mass * gravity 
10 = m * 9.8
m = 10/9.8 = 1.02 Kg

Now, Let, the gravity of that planet = g'
g' = m/r²   [m,r = mass & radius of that planet ]
g' = M/10 / (1/2R)²   [M, R = mass & radius of Earth ]
g' = 4M / 10R²
g' = 2/5 * M/R²
g' = 2/5 * g   
g' = 2/5 * 9.8
g' = 3.92

Weight on that planet = planet's gravity * mass
W' = 3.92 * 1.02
W' = 4 N

In short, Your Answer would be 4 Newtons

Hope this helps!

12345 [234]

Answer:

Option (D) On average, the molecules of gas 1 lose some of their kinetic energy to the molecules of gas 2 through collisions, resulting in the two gases eventually having the same temperature.

Explanation:

From the question given, Gas 1 was initially at a higher temperature than Gas 2.

As the two gas mixes together, there will be a transfer of heat from Gas 1 molecules to Gas 2 molecules. Now, as this continues over a period of time, the two gas will eventually have the same temperature.

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m
Mumz [18]
The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

An object with a mass of m = 3.85 kg is suspended at rest between the ceiling and the floor by two thin vertical ropes.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

<h3>Tension in the upper rope</h3>

The tension in the upper rope is calculated as follows;

T(u) = T(d)+ mg

where;

  • T(u) is tension in upper rope
  • T(d) is tension in lower rope

T(u) = 12.8 N + 3.85(9.8)

T(u) = 50.53 N

Thus, the tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s
