Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by light = 4.5 years

Time taken by ship = 5 years

Speed of light = c

Speed of ship (v) = 90% of c = 0.9c

Find:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = ?

Computation:

Time dilation is ,

T(Difference) = \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ (5-4.5)= \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ 0.5=\frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-0.81} }\\\\T0 =0.2179

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
GREYUIT [131]
<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

What is the acceleration due to gravity in a region where a simple pendulum having a length 75.000 cm has a period of 1.7357 s?​
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π\sqrt{L/g}

(T / 2π)² = L/g

g = 4π²L/T²

g = 4π²(0.75000)/(1.7357)²

g = 9.82814766...

g = 9.8281 m/s²
