Calculate the weight ofa 58 kg astronaut on the moon where g=1.6 m/s2

Physics
1 answer:
sveta [45]3 years ago
5 0
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

On the moon, gravity = 1.6 m/s² .

The astronaut, with his mass of 58 kg, weighs

(58 kg) x (1.6 m/s²) = 92.8 newtons (about 21.1 pounds)


On the Earth, gravity = 9.8 m/s² .

The astronaut, with his mass of 58 kg, weighs

(58 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 568.4 newtons (about 127.9 pounds)

The potential at location A is 382 V. A positively charged particle is released there from rest and arrives at location B with a
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 247.67 V

Explanation:

Given

Potential At A V_a=382\ V

Potential at V_c=785\ V

when particle starts from A it reaches with velocity v_b at Point while when it starts from C it reaches at point B with velocity 2v_b

Suppose m is the mass of Particle

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From A to B

q\cdot \left ( V_a-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (v_b)^2----1

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From C to B

q\cdot \left ( V_c-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (2v_b)^2-----2

Divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{V_a-V_b}{V_c-V_b}=\frac{v_b^2}{4v_b^2}

on solving we get

V_b=\frac{4}{3}\cdot V_a-\frac{1}{3}\cdot V_c

V_b=\frac{743}{3}=247.67\ V

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

You go rock climbing with a pack that weighs 70 N and you reach a height of 30 m. how much work did you do to lift your pack? If
Vikentia [17]
When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).
In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.
Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack 
                                        = Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.
 
So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.
Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)
                            =     2100/600 =3.5 watts

If this decay has a half-life of 10.2 years, what mass of 60.8g carbon-14 will remain after 20.4 years
OLEGan [10]
20.4 years is 20.4/10.2 = 2 half-life cycles, which means a quarter of the starting mass or 15.2 g will remain after this time.
