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.

A 10.0-cm-long uniformly charged plastic rod is sealed inside a plastic bag. The net electric flux through the bag is 7.50 × 10
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

Using Gauss's law which states that the net electric flux (∅) through a closed surface is the ratio of the enclosed charge (Q) to the permittivity (ε₀) of the medium. This can be represented as ;

∅ = Q / ε₀        -----------------(i)

Where;

∅ = 7.5 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

ε₀ = permittivity of free space (which is air, since it is enclosed in a bag) = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² Nm²/C²

Now, let's first get the charge (Q) by substituting the values above into equation (i) as follows;

7.5 x 10⁵ = Q / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Solve for Q;

Q = 7.5 x 10⁵ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

Now, we can find the linear charge density (L) which is the ratio of the charge(Q) to the length (l) of the rod. i.e

L = Q / l     ----------------------(ii)

Where;

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

l = length of the rod = 10.0cm = 0.1m

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷C / 0.1m

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density (charge per unit length) on the rod is 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m.
