12. An astronaut whose mass is 70 kg on Earth's surface 12 poi
1 answer:
Her mass is still 70 kg
Explanation:
The mass of an object is an intrinsec property of the object that gives a measure of the "amount of matter" inside the object.
Being an intrinsec property, it depends only on the object itself, not on its location: therefore, the mass of an object is always the same in different locations. Therefore, the mass of the astronaut in the spacecraft is still the same as if she was on the earth, 70 kg.
On the contrary, the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object, and it is given by
where
m is the mass
g is the acceleration of gravity
While m is always the same, the value of g changes based on the location: therefore, the weight of an object changes depending on the location.

Answer:
15.6m/s
Explanation:
V1= because the derivate of the position is the velocity
V1=12t+3
V2=20+-8t because the integral of the acceleration is the velocity
V2=
V1=V2 to see when the velocities of particles match
12t+3=20-4t^2
4t^2+12t-17=0 we resolve this with
and we take the positif root
t=1.05 sec
if we evaluate the velocity (V1 or V2) the result is 15.6m/s
