The difference between weight on the moon and the earth  because the influence of the earth's and the moon's gravitational force on objects

The moon's gravitational acceleration is 1,622 m / s², smaller than the earth at 9.88 m / s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Mass is one of the principal quantities, which is related to the matter in the material, whereas weight is a force that leads to the center of the earth which is subject to the earth to matter (Earth's gravitational force)

So that the mass does not depend on the location of the object, while the weight can change depending on the position of the object

In international standards, the mass unit is kg while the weight is in units of newton

1 kg itself is the mass of a cylinder made of platinum-iridium

While the standard mass of an atom is determined according to the carbon-12 atomic mass of 12 atomic mass units

1 atomic mass unit comparable to 1.6605402.10⁻¹⁷ kg

Measuring the atomic mass using a mass spectrometer.

The mass itself can be measured by the arm balance while the weight is measured by the spring balance

One equation that can relate mass and force (weight) is

\large{\boxed{\bold{W=m.g}}}

W = weight, N

m = mass, kg

g = gravity acceleration, m / s2

The pound of force or pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force or weight

1 lbf is equal to 4.5 N

Neil Armstrong weigh 360 pounds on earth = 360 x 4.5 N = 1620 N

Then (g earth = 9.8 m/s²)

w earth = m.g

1620 N = m .9.8 m/s²

m= mass = 165.306 kg

So the weight on the moon become :(g moon = 1.622 m/s²)

w moon = 165.306 kg . 1.622 m/s²

w moon = 268.1265 N = 59.584 lbf(pound-force) = ± 60 pounds

Weight is determined by the effect of gravity on an object, which relates to the mass of the object. The moon has less mass than the Earth, and therefore the gravitational pull is less strong, meaning that the weight is less.

What is the relationship between emerging scientific ideas and open-mindedness?
il63 [147K]
Open-mindedness is needed for the emerging scientific ideas to be accepted (or : to not be rejected without consideration).

Additionally, open-mindedness as a attitude often leads to new scientific ideas emerging: it means that people are more comfortable to try out new things and to test new hypotheses.

Scientists have evidence that meteorites have come from which option of locations?
Step2247 [10]

Mars and Moon are the locations from which meteorites would come.

Option (c);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • The meteorites found on Earth look like martian crystal rocks.
  • These might be first ejected into space during a collision of an asteroidal object with Moon or Mars and then it got into the Earth orbit because of the force produced during the collision.
  • There are around seventy meteorites recognised to have come from the planet Mars till up to the present date.
  • There are three types of meteorites such as Martian meteorites and a sample of two lunar meteorites.
  • To identify the origin of the meteorite, the scientist tries to identify the type of rock followed by analysing the chemical composition and then try to identify its age.

Carbon dioxide is used by producers (autotrophs) to make their food which is sugar. True or false?
natima [27]

Answer:

Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar. The glucose gives plants energy

In what way are the structures of dna and protein similar?
Verizon [17]
They are similar in three main ways 1.Both DNA and proteins are polymers. 2. Both are made from smaller subunits joined together. DNA is made of subunits called nucleotides joined together and protein is made up subunits called amino acids joined together. 3. In both of them, these subunits or monomers are linked together by covalent bonds. Nucleotides are a combination of a nitrogen - rich base that is either adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine, together with a phosphate group and a sugar.
