What would be some benefits of living on a planet with less surface gravity

This is a tricky one.

-- IF I evolved on that planet, then my body is perfectly matched to the
conditions and the environment over there, and I am approximately just
as happy and care-free la de da over there as I really am on Earth,
and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

-- IF I evolved on Earth, and I move this body to a planet with less
surface gravity, then there are all kinds of complications.

. . . Even if the atmosphere over there has the same gases in the
same ratios as Earth's atmosphere, the lower gravity means that the
atmosphere has lower weight.  In turn, that means that the surface
pressure is lower, and I have to work harder to take in enough oxygen to
keep my Earth body functioning.  Breathing alone could be a full-time job.

. . . The acceleration of gravity is less than 9.8 m/s² over there.
This means that when I drop something, it falls slower than I'm used to,
and I can usually grab it before it hits the floor.
When I lift something with the normal force of my Earth arm, it jumps up
faster than I expect.  Until I get used to things, I'll probably overshoot,
lift things too high and too fast, maybe spill the coffee etc.

. . . With my Earth muscles, almost everything takes less force. 
It's a lot easier to walk around.  I bob up and down more than usual,
and my steps are longer.  When I run, it's really funny.  Every time
I take a step, I sail several feet into the air, and come down farther
than I ever did, but it all happens in slow motion.

All of this is fun while it lasts, but it doesn't last long.  My Earth body
gets adjusted to the new planet.  Before long, I actually lose muscle mass
AND bone, so that if I were to go back to Earth, I would be so weak that
I'd have to be carried around for a while.

We know this from what happens to the astronauts who spend 6 months
or a year in zero G on the International Space Station.  Even when they
do resistance exercises for an hour a day, they come back with less
muscle strength and less bone mass.

Hi there!

(a)

Recall that:
W = F \cdot d = Fdcos\theta

W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)

Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.

W =248(56)cos(30) = 12027.36 J

To the nearest multiple of ten:
W_A = \boxed{12030 J}

(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.

Thus:
\boxed{W_g = 0 J}

(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
\boxed{W_N = 0 J}

(d)

Recall that the force of kinetic friction is given by:
F_{f} =\mu_k mg

Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
W_f = -\mu_k mgd\\W_f = - (0.1)(56)(9.8)(56) = -3073.28 J

In multiples of ten:
\boxed{W_f = -3070 J}

(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.

W_{net} = W_A + W_f \\\\W_{net} = 12027.36 + (-3073.28) = 8954.08 J

Nearest multiple of ten:
\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}}

(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
F_{net} = F_{Ax} - F_f

W = F_{net} \cdot d = (F_{Ax} - F_f)

W = (F_Acos(30) - \mu_k mg)d\\W = (248cos(30) - 0.1(56)(9.8)) * 56 \\\\W = 8954.08 J

Nearest multiple of ten:
\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}

I’m which medium does sound travel fastest railroad track or across the room
blondinia [14]
The closer the particles, the more will be the propogation of sound waves. Room contains air molecules which are far away from each other. So it takes much time for one molecule of air to disturb the other one. But in case of solids, as particles are much closer(compared to fluids), disturbance generated by one molecule is quickly transmitted to the next molecule

PLEASE HELP!!!
anastassius [24]
Answer: 0 km/h

Explanation:
As a vector, the plane's velocity is 100 km/h (west) - 100 km/h (east)  = 0 km/m.
To an observer on the ground, the plane will be standing still.

Ch 31 HW Problem 31.63 10 of 15 Constants In an L-R-C series circuit, the source has a voltage amplitude of 116 V , R = 77.0 Ω ,
Degger [83]

Answer:

a. I = 0.76 A

b. Z = 150.74

c. RL₁ = 34.41  ,  RL₂ = 602.58

d. RL₂ = 602.58

Explanation:

V₁ = 116 V , R₁ = 77.0 Ω , Vc = 364 V ,  Rc = 473 Ω

a.

Using law of Ohm

V = I * R

I = Vc / Rc =  364 V / 473 Ω

I = 0.76 A

b.

The impedance of the circuit in this case the resistance, capacitance and inductor

V = I * Z

Z = V / I

Z = 116 v / 0.76 A

Z = 150.74

c.

The reactance of the inductor can be find using

Z² = R² + (RL² - Rc²)

Solve to RL'

RL = Rc (+ / -) √ ( Z² - R²)

RL = 473 (+ / -)  √ 150.74² 77.0²

RL = 473 (+ / -)  (129.58)

RL₁ = 34.41  ,  RL₂ = 602.58

d.

The higher value have the less angular frequency  

RL₂ = 602.58

ω = 1 / √L*C

ω = 1 / √ 602.58 * 473

f = 285.02 Hz
