Answer:

1. The length is 8.35m

2. The period on the moon is 14.05 secs

Explanation:

1. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Period (T) = 5.8 secs

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Length (L) =...?

The length can be obtained by using the formula given below:

T = 2π√(L/g)

5.8 = 2π√(L/9.8)

Take the square of both side

(5.8)^2 = 4π^2 x L/ 9.8

Cross multiply

4π^2 x L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8

Divide both side by 4π^2

L = (5.8)^2 x 9.8 / 4π^2

L= 8.35 m

2. Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.67 m/s2

Length (L) = 8.35m (the length remains the same)

Period (T) =?

The period can be obtained as follow:

T = 2π√(L/g)

T = 2π√(8.35/1.67)

T = 14.05 secs

Therefore, the period on the moon is 14.05 secs

The mass of an object on earth is 20 kg what will be the mass of that object on moon? And why?

Alla [95]

Answer:

20kg

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object, the amount of matter inside it does not change based on location. E.g. Objects do not lose matter when they travel to the moon.

Weight, on the other hand is the downward force you exert on the ground. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravitational field strength and changes in different places with different gravitational strength. E.g. The moon's gravitational strength is 1/5 of Earth's so the mass of the object would stay the same but the weight would be only 20% of the weight is had on earth.

Hope this helped!

Suppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 light-years away. Their message e

Grace [21]

Answer:

The duration is $T =72 \ years /tex]Explanation:From the question we are told that The distance is [tex]D = 35 \ light-years = 35 * 9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \ m$

Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{D}{c}$

Here c is the speed of light with the value $c = 3.08 *10^{8} \ m/s$

=> $t = \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}$

=> $t = 1.075 *10^9 \ s$

converting to years

$t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8}$

$t = 34 \ years$

Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as

$T = 2* t + 2 + 2$

=> $T = 2* 34 + 2 + 2$

=> [tex]T =72 \ years /tex]

The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co

-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?
