An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.

1 answer:

6 0

Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

A uniform disk has a moment of inertia that is (1/2)MR2. A uniform disk of mass 13 kg, thickness 0.3 m, and radius 0.2 m is loca

kicyunya [14]

The angular momentum of an object is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity.
L = Iω
I = 1/2 MR²
I = 1/2 x 13 x (0.2)
I = 1.3

ω = 2π/t
ω = 2π/0.3
ω = 20.9

L = 1.3 x 20.9
= 27.2 kgm²/s

A soccer player icks a rock horizontally off a 40m high cliff into a pool f water if the player hears the sound of the splash s

Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 9.936 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of cliff = 40 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

assuming that time to reach the sound to the player = 3 s

now,

time taken to fall of ball

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 40}{9.8}}$

t = 2.857 s

distance

d = v x t

d = v x 2.875

time traveled by the sound before reaching the player

$t_0 = t - t_{fall}$

$t_0 = 3 - 2.875$

$t_0 = 0.143 s$

distance traveled by the wave in this time'

r = 0.143 x 343

r= 49.05 m

now,

we know.

d² + h² = r²

d² + 40² = 49.05²

d =28.387 m

v x 2.875=28.387 m

v = 9.936 m/s
