Answer: 135.57N

Explanation:

Force of gravity on earth = Mass * acceleration due to gravity

Mass = 83kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Force on gravity on earth (Fe) = 83 * 9.8 = 813.4N

But force of gravity on moon (Fm) = 1/6th of earth

Hence, his force of gravity on moon would be 1/6th of 813.4

(Fm) = 1/6 * 813.4 = 135.57 N

If a man has a mass of 83 kilograms on Earth, the force of gravity on his body be on the moon 135.6N. force =mass*acc , 83 * 9.8/6= 813.4/6 = 135.6N

The shape of a sign gives you a clue about the information contained on the sign.

Yeah, like a stop sign. We know it is most likely a stop sign since it has 8 sides or is an octagon.
I hope I helped!

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, $m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

$qE=mg$

$m=\dfrac{qE}{g}$

$q=6e$ , e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, $E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m$

$m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}$

$m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$

So, the mass of the oil drop is $3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti

aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ = 30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin

kompoz [17]

Answer: 75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph
