Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

$g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:</u>

$g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2}$ ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}$

$m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg$

$r=1.74\times 10^6\ m$

$h=384.4\times 10^6\ m$ is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

$g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}$

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$ is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.
