Answer:

The weight of the astronaut on the surface of moon due to the force of gravitation becomes one-sixth of the size of the gravitational acceleration on Earth.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the astronaut is, m = M

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is, a = g

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is a' = g/6

The weight of the astronaut on Earth, W = Mg

The weight of the astronaut on the moon is, w = Mg/6

                                                                           W = w /6

Hence, the weight of the astronaut on the surface of moon due to the force of gravitation becomes one-sixth of the size of the gravitational acceleration on Earth.

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the bat
Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

A golf club hits a stationary 0.05kg golf ball with and average force of 5.0 x 10^3 newtons accelerating the ball at 44 meters p
maxonik [38]

Answer: The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

Explanation:

Force applied on the golf ball = 5.0\times 10^3 N

Mass of the ball = 0.05 kg

Velocity with which ball is accelerating = 44 m/s

Time period over which forece applied = t

f=ma=\frac{m\times v}{t}

t=\frac{0.05 kg\times 44m/s}{5.0\times 10^3 N}=4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds

Impulse=(force)\times (time)=f\times t = 5.0\times 10^3\times 4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds=2.2 Newton seconds

The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s west
Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B=+5\ m/sis the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_c=15\ m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B=+5\ m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
