I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth.
Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.
HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the
question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an
inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as
gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his
weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.
<span>Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will
also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.</span>
Answer:
His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases
The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.
Explanation:
Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression
, so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.
When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.
Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.
mgh+
= Constant
Answer: False
Explanation: A magnetic compass does not point to the geographic north pole. A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic poles, which are not the same as earth's geographic poles. Furthermore, the magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole.
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s
Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m
By definition, the speed of an object is given by:

Where,
dr/dt: derived from the position with respect to time
Therefore, speed has units of length over units of time.
Thus, speed is a derived quantity, since it depends on the value of two other quantities.
Answer:
a derived quantity is:
C. Speed
