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

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.

Which force acts as an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).

An 85-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (4km above the ground ) what is the potential energy
Airida [17]
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters

Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules
