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.

A solid circular shaft and a tubular shaft, both with the same outer radius of c=co = 0.550 in , are being considered for a part
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The power for circular shaft is 7.315 hp and tubular shaft is 6.667 hp

Explanation:

<u>Polar moment of Inertia</u>

(I_p)s = \frac{\pi(0.55)4}2

      = 0.14374 in 4

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the solid circular shaft</u>

T_{max} = T_{allow} \frac{I_p}{r}

         =(14 \times 10^3) \times (\frac{0.14374}{0.55})

         = 3658.836 lb.in

         = \frac{3658.836}{12} lb.ft

        = 304.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the tubular shaft</u>

T_{max} = T_{allow}( \frac{Ip}{r})

          = (14 \times10^3) \times ( \frac{0.13101}{0.55})

          = 3334.8 lb.in

          = (\frac{3334.8}{12} ) lb.ft

          = 277.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the solid circular shaft</u>

P_{max} = 2 \pi f_T

          = 2\pi(2.1) \times 304.9

          = 4023.061 lb. ft/s

          = (\frac{4023.061}{550}) hp

          = 7.315 hp

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the tubular shaft</u>

P _{max,t} = 2\pi f_T

            = 2\pi(2.1) \times 277.9

            = 3666.804 lb.ft /s

            = (\frac{3666.804}{550})hp

            = 6.667 hp

If time travel to the future existed, doesn't that mean that the future has already occurred and that we are living in the past?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

As of right now the techology has not been invented to time travel

if we were to time travel to the future from where that person travled from would be the past and to them the people from where they came from are living in the past
