Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K
