What is free-fall acceleration on the surface of the moon?

Physics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]4 years ago
7 0
R is the radius of the object. There is a negative sign in front of the equation because objects in free fall always fall downwards toward the center of the object. The acceleration due to gravity is <span>1.62 m/s2</span><span>. This is approximately 1/6 that of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, </span><span>9.81 m/s2</span><span>.</span>

tester [92]

Answer:

R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The important concept of mass center defined by

         R_cm = 1 / M   ∑  x_i m_i

where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body

Let's apply this expression to our case.

Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,

       R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)

the total mass is

      M = m_earth + m_moon

     

the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center

let's calculate

      M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²

      M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg

we substitute

      R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )

      R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun
ANTONII [103]
The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).

During a workout, the football players at State U ran up the stadium stairs in 61 s. The stairs are 130 m long and inclined at a
NeTakaya

Answer:

  P = 1097 Watt

Explanation:

given,

length of stairs, L = 130 m

inclination with horizontal,θ = 30°

mass of the football player = 105 Kg

time = 61 s

we know,

Power = \dfrac{work}{time}

Work = change in Potential energy

 h = L sin 30°

 h = 130 x 0.5

 h = 65 m

W = m g h

W = 105 x 9.8 x 65

W = 66885 J

now,

P = \dfrac{66885}{61}

  P = 1097 Watt

hence, the power output on the way is 1097 W

What holds the positively charged metal ions together within a metallic bond?
enot [183]

Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

Metallic bonds result from interaction of positively charged metal ions with free valence electrons which now forms an electron cloud around the metal ions. Electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the electron cloud holds the metal ions together in the metallic bond.
