As you walked on the moon, the earth’s gravity would still pull on you weakly and you would still have an earth weight. How larg

e would that earth weight be, compared to your earth weight on the earth’s surface? (Note: The earth’s radius is 6378 km and the distance separating the centers of the earth and moon is 384400 kilometers.)

Answer:

g_2 =2\times 10^{-4}g      

Explanation:

given,

radius of earth = 6378 km

distance separating the center of the earth and moon =  384400 km

we know acceleration due to gravity

g = \dfrac{Gm}{r^2}            

g_2 = g\dfrac{r^2}{R^2}                

g_2 = g\dfrac{6378^2}{384400^2}              

g_2 =2\times 10^{-4}g      

hence, the weight of earth compared to the your weight on earths surface is equal to 2 × 10⁻⁴ g.

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?
Ber [7]
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

If the magnitude of F1 is greater than the magnitude of F2, then the box is
Lady bird [3.3K]

Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2, there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of motion is along the F1.

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against  or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually  considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.

A cannonball is launched from the ground at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal and a speed of 30 m/s. Ideally (no air r
marusya05 [52]

As we know that here no air resistance while ball is moving in air

So here we will say that

initial total energy = final total energy

KE_i + U_i = KE_f + U_f

here we know that

Ui = U_f = 0 (as it will be on ground at initial and final position)

so we will say

KE_i = KE_f

since mass is always conserved

so we will say that final speed of the ball must be equal to the initial speed of the ball

so we have

v_f = v_i = 30 m/s
