The astronaut's weight is not 60 kg anywhere, because kg is a unit of mass, not weight.
If the astronaut's mass is 60 kg, then his weight is (60 kg)x(acceleration of gravity).
That's 588 Newtons on Earth, and 58.8 Newtons on a planet with 1/10 Earth's gravity.
The astronaut's mass of 60 kg goes with her, and doesn't depend on where she is.
Explanation:
a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is
so its initial gravitational potential energy 
is
b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:
We know that the initial kinetic energy 
as well as its final gravitational potential energy 
are zero so we can write the conservation law as
Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as
Answer:
28 cm and 32 cm
Explanation:
1. The spring pendulum hangs vertically, oscillates harmonic with amplitude 2cm and angular frequency 20 rad/s. The natural length of
a spring is 30cm. What is the minimum and maximum length of the spring during the oscillation? Take g = 10m/s2.
As the amplitude is 2 cm and the natural length is 30 cm. So, it oscillates between 30 -2 = 28 cm to 30 + 2 = 32 cm.
So, the minimum length is 28 cm and the maximum length is 32 cm.
Acceleration is how much the velocity changes within a period of time so,
Acceleration= is the change in velocity divided by change in time
your units will be m/s squared
