Answer:
Explanation:
given,
vector product 
= 
now, expanding the vector
the vector product is equal to
+1
An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.
Answer:
The mass of the boulder remains constant, while its weight decreases with respect to the value of gravitational force on the moon.
Explanation:
The mass of the boulder = 15 kg
On the earth, its mass remains 15 kg. But its weight is;
weight = m x g
= 15 x 9.8
= 147 N
The boulder's weight on the earth is 147 N.
When transferred to the moon, the mass remains constant i.e 15 kg. But its weight decreases due to a change in the value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon. Thus, the boulder becomes lighter in weight.
"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________
If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
