Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

An object on the moon will weigh 1/6th of what it does on earth but have the same mass. Why is that?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Because the weight depends of the gravity

Explanation:

This is because weight and mass are different, in order to better understand this problem we will apply an example with real values, which will help us to determine a person's weight.

A man has a mass of 80 [kg] on Earth when measuring his weight he realizes that it is 784.9 [N] and on the moon it is 130.8 [N]

On Earth

$g_{e} = 9.81[m/s^2]\\g_{m} = 1.635[m/s^2]$

Where:

g = gravity

Weight on the moon

Wm = 80 * 1.635

Wm = 130.8[N]

Weight on the earth

We = 80 * 9.81

We = 784.8[N]

In this way we can see that the weight depends on the gravity of where the person is located.

Provide two positives and two negatives the Sarah‘s family would face if they switched to organic farming

likoan [24]

Answer:

Organic farming would have higher costs, and would be more complex than conventional farming. However, the Suarez family could charge a higher price for organic produce. This type of farming also would be better for the land.

How long was a 50 W lightbulb left on for if 500,002 J were burned?

saveliy_v [14]

" 50 W " means " 50 Watts " or " 50 Joules per second ".

(500,002 J) / (50 J/sec) = 10,000.04 seconds

(That's 2 hours 46 minutes 40.04 seconds.)
