Answer:

The mass of the person would remain 600kg.

Explanation:

mass refers to the amount of matter in a particular object. therefore even though the moon has less gravitational force than the Earths, it still would have the same mass since the person is made up of the same amount of matter on Earth and in the moon.

when asked about weight, it would be 1000N. but in mass , same 600kg.

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration

Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

$F_f = \mu N$

Where,

$\mu =$ Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

$m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\$

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

$F_{net} = F_f$

$m_{total}a = \mu m_hg$

$(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g$

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

$a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}$

$a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}$

$a = 4.54 m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is $4.54m/s^2$

Wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are __________________ the wavelengths of reradiated heat. question 2 options: faster th

MArishka [77]

I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.
