If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon

1 answer:

4 0

The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.

Reika [66]

Answer:

$tan \theta = \mu_s$

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0$ (1)

where

$mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, $\theta$ the angle of the slope

$\mu_s R$ is the frictional force, with $\mu_s$ being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

$R-mg cos \theta = 0$

where

R is the normal reaction

$mg cos \theta$ is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0$

Re-arranging the equation,

$sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s$

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of $\mu_s$ , the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

4. Compare the change in initial and final gravitational force in

mylen [45]

Gravitational force equals GMm/r^2, where G is constant, M and m are the masses, and r is distance.

For I, if both masses double, the formula becomes G2M2m/r^2, or 4GMm/r^2. Therefore, the gravitational force will quadruple or 4x.

For II, if the distance between the object doubles, the formula becomes GMm/(2r)^2 or GMm/4r^2. In this case, the gravitational force is 1/4x the initial force.

B) Write the name of the devices<br>which are shown in the given<br>figures and write their uses

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

transparent Prism

Explanation:

The device shown is a prism. It is used to study the refraction of light according with its wavelength as it transverses from a medium (air for example) to another (either glass, fluorite, plastic), and vice versa.

For that reason is also used to separate white light into its spectral wavelength components.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello to solve this problem we must initially draw the free body diagram of the car, and remember that for a body to be in balance the sum of its moments must be zero.

When this equation is raised, we can find the relationship between the forces of the front and rear wheel, and the complete procedure is attached.
