The weight of an astronout is 60kg on earth, find the wight of the same object on the planet where the gravitational attraction

has been reduced to 1/10 of the earths pull
Physics
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago

The astronaut's weight is not 60 kg anywhere, because kg is a unit of mass, not weight.

If the astronaut's mass is 60 kg, then his weight is (60 kg)x(acceleration of gravity).

That's 588 Newtons on Earth, and 58.8 Newtons on a planet with 1/10 Earth's gravity.

The astronaut's mass of 60 kg goes with her, and doesn't depend on where she is.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
Vlad [161]

Answer: 7.95^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

Mass of water is m_1=1\ kg

mass of ice is m_2=0.1\ kg

Latent heat of fusion L=3.33\times 10^5\ kJ/kg

The heat capacity of water is c_{w}=4186\ J/kg^{\circ}C

Suppose water is at  T^{\circ} C  and it reaches to 0^{\circ}C to melt the ice

the heat released by water must be equivalent to heat absorbed by the ice

\therefore \quad m_1c_w(T-0)=m_2\times L\\\Rightarrow 1\times 4186\times T=0.1\times 3.33\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow T=7.95^{\circ}C

*A car is going through a dip in the road whose curvature approximates a circle of radius 150m. At what velocity will the occupa
Valentin [98]

Answer:

v= 14.85 m/s

Explanation:

  • When at the bottom of the dip, the only force that keeps the car in the circular trajectory, is the centripetal force.
  • This force is not a new force, is just the net force aiming to the center of the circle.
  • In this case, is just the difference between the normal force (always perpendicular to the surface, pointing upward) and the force that gravity exerts on the car (which is known as the weight), pointing downward.
  • So, we can write the following expression:

       F_{cent} = F_{n} - F_{g}  (1)

  • It can be showed that the centripetal force is related to the speed by the following expression:
  • F_{cent} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)
  • The normal force, it is called the apparent weight, because it would be the weight as measured by a scale.
  • Replacing (2) in (1), and solving for Fn, we get:

       F_{n} = m*\frac{v^{2} }{r} + m*g (3)

  • Now, we need to find the value of v that makes Fn, exactly 15% more than the weight m*g, so we can write the following equation:

      F_{n} = 1.15*F_{g} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} +F_{g}  (4)

  • Replacing Fg by its value, simplifying, and solving for v, we get:

       v = \sqrt{0.15*g*r} = \sqrt{9.8 m/s2*0.15*150m} = 14.85 m/s (5)

What is the mani difference between kentic energy and potential energy
AlekseyPX
Kinetic energy is stored energy that is released, for example, a fast-moving roller coaster down a slope. Potential energy is energy that has stored energy, for example, a stretched rubber band.

What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver who has opened his parachute and is now slowing down as he falls?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

There is an arrow up for air resistance and an arrow down for gravity. The arrow up is longer than the arrow down.

Explanation:

The text of the problem says that the skydiver is slowing down: this means that he has an acceleration, which is directed opposite to the motion of the skydiver. Since the motion is downward, the acceleration must be upward.

There are two forces acting on the skydiver: the gravity (downward) and the air resistance (upward). According to Newton's second law:

F=ma

the acceleration has the same direction of the net force, so the net force must also be upward: therefore, the air resistance must be greater than the gravity, so the arrow up for air resistance is longer than the arrow down for gravity.
