What is an equation that relates weight on earth and weight on the moom

Mathematics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago

W=mg 

<span>Where: </span>

<span>Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity </span>

<span>So let's say I want to work out my weight on the moon. I know I weigh about 70kg (which would be N), but I can't use that figure for the calculation on the moon. That is what I weigh on Earth, so let's look at the equation... </span>

<span>70kg = mass * 9.81m/s^2 </span>

<span>Where 9.81m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface on the earth. I want to get rid of that, so let's work out my mass by division; </span>

<span>70/9.81 = 7.14kg </span>

<span>I googled the acceleration of gravity on the Moon, which was = 1.6m/s^2 </span>

<span>Let's use that in the same equation W=mg </span>

<span>W = 7.14kg * 1.6m/s^2 = 11.42N

</span><span>On the Moon, you would weigh approximately one sixth of your weight on Earth, so if your bathroom scales tell you you weigh 120 pounds, there you would weigh 20 pounds.
</span>
<span>Moon`s gravitational pull is about one-sixth to the gravitational pull on earth hence weight on moon is about one-sixth of the weight on earth.</span>

(a) Using the table, give the values fo rthe inverse


1) original table of values:


x      1     2     3    4    5

f(x)   0     1     1    5    3


2) The inverse of the function is obtained by exchanging x and f(x), this is:


                   ( x, f(x) ) → ( f(x), x)


3) So, the table of values of the inverse of the given function is:


x          0    1     1      5     3

f⁻¹ (x)   0     1     2     3     4


(b) Is the inverse a function?


No, the inverse is not a function, since the table of the inverse shows that the x -value 1 has two different images.


This ambigüity is opposite to the definition of a function, which requires that any input value has only one output. For that reason, the inverse is not a function. You cannot tell whether the image of 1 is 1 or 2, because both are images of the same value.

Find the equation of the line passing through(1,2) and making an angle of 30 degree with y intercept
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Equation of the straight line passing through the point ( 1,2 ) and having the slope

 x - √3y -1+2√3 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that the point (1,2) and an angle = ∝ = 30°

The slope of the line

             m = tan 30°

             m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

Equation of the straight line passing through the point ( 1,2 ) and having the slope

 m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }

           y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

          y - 2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } } ( x -1)

        √3(y-2) = (x-1)

⇒       √3y - 2√3 = x -1

           x - √3y -1+2√3 =0

What is the next term of the arithmetic sequence?<br> -3, -7, -11, -15,
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and subtract the first term to find what we are adding (or subtacting ) each time

-7 -(-3) =

-7+3

-4

We are subtracting 4 each time

Subtract 4 from the next term

-15 -4 = -19

The next term is -19

The sum of two numbers I'd 16. Three times the larger number decreased by the smaller is 72. Find the number
maksim [4K]

Answer:

22, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations.

x= the larger number

y=the smaller number

Using what you know, create the equations:

x+y=16

3x-y=72

Now add the two equations together. (elimination method)

    x+y=16

+  3x-y=72                (the y's cancel out)

-----------------

     4x = 88               Divide.

       x = 22

Now plug in x=22 into one of your equations to solve for y.

x+y=16

22+y=16

y=-6

The numbers are 22 and -6.
