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 circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance?
Korvikt [17]

The total resistance is 420 ohm.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance  

 R= 220+ 100+ 57+ 43

    = 420 Ω

What is resistance and its types?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance. Ohms are measured as resistance, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). The ratio of the applied voltage to the current through the material is then known as resistance.

What causes resistance?

An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.

A constant torque of 3 Nm is applied to an unloaded motor at rest at time t = 0. The motor reaches a speed of 1,393 rpm in 4 s.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

Explanation:

From Newton's Laws of Motion and Principle of Motion of D'Alembert, the net torque of a system (\tau), measured in Newton-meters, is:

\tau = I\cdot \alpha (1)

Where:

I - Moment of inertia, measured in Newton-meter-square seconds.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

If motor have an uniform acceleration, then we can calculate acceleration by this formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{t} (2)

Where:

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\omega - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that \tau = 3\,N\cdot m, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s }, \omega = 145.875\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 4\,s, then the moment of inertia of the motor is:

\alpha = \frac{145.875\,\frac{rad}{s}-0\,\frac{rad}{s}}{4\,s}

\alpha = 36.469\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

I = \frac{\tau}{\alpha}

I = \frac{3\,N\cdot m}{36.469\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }

I = 0.0823\,N\cdot m\cdot s^{2}

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

A block of mass 27.00 kg sits on a horizontal surface with, coefficient of kinetic
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The force is  F  = 172 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  mass of the block is  m_b  = 27.0 \ kg

     The  coefficient of  static friction is  \mu_s  =  0.65

     The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k  =  0.50

The  normal force acting on the block is  

      N  =  m *  g

substituting values

     N  =   27 *  9.8

     N  =   294.6  \  N

Given that the force we are to find is the force required to get the block to start moving then the force acting against this force is the static frictional force which is mathematically evaluated as

        F_f  =  \mu_s  *  N

substituting values

        F_f  =   0.65 *  264.6

        F_f  =   172 \ N

Now for this  block to move the force require is  equal to F_f i.e

       F= F_f

=>    F  = 172 \ N
