Answer:

W'=125.44 N

Explanation:

The weight of a person on the surface of Earth is 784 N

Weight is given by :

W = mg

m is mass of the person and g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth (10 m/s²)

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{784}{10}\\\\m=78.4\ kg$

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Moon, g' = 1.6 m/s²

Weight of the person on the moon is :

W'=mg'

$W'=78.4\ kg\times 1.6\ m/s^2\\\\W'=125.44\ N$

Hence, the person would weigh 125.44 N on the Moon.

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option

How do you make a mirages?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

The hot earth warms a layer of air right above the ground. Light is refracted as it passes through the cool air and onto the hot air sheet (bent). A coating of very warm air near the earth bends the light from the sky almost into a U-shaped bend.
