What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

What is the speed of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1020 V?
sashaice [31]
<span>a. KE in electron volts is 1020 eV. 
b. KE in Joules is e(1020) = (1.6022E-19)(1020) = 1.634E-16 
c. KE = (1/2)mv^2, so v = sqrt[2*KE/m] = 18.94E6 m/s

note: m is the mass of an electron = 9.109e-31 kg

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
