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!

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

Your mother is sure that you were driving too fast because she knows
photoshop1234 [79]
She knows the speed limit in the area, and also saw the speed you were going on the speedometer. The speed you were going was faster than the limit allowed, so that's how she knew you were going too fast.
