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

Marianna [84]3 years ago
3 0

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.

What do you mean by shearing stress??​
lord [1]

Answer:

Shear stress, force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. The resultant shear is of great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and to earthquakes.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

the observed frequency will reduce but the wavelength will increase

Explanation:

As we know

fo = fs (v/(v-vs))

fo = observed frequency

vs = velocity of source

As per this equation,  

When an observer moves away from the stationary source, the observed frequency reduces. Since the observer in the balloon is moving away from the source which itself is moving in opposite direction, the observed frequency will reduce.  

Since wavelength = V/fs . The source frequency is unchanged but the velocity is increasing as it is moving in downward direction. Hence, the wavelength will increase

What is hydraulic pressure?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Hydraulic pressure is actually the pressure that is exerted to liquid and the pressure gets transmitted throughout the liquid. Since liquid cannot be compressed, so the pressure that was exerted on the liquid gets transmitted to the walls of the container containing the liquid. This theory is applied to the braking system of cars and some other vehicles. This is known as the hydraulic pressure. It is actually the science that is concerned with the laws of movements of a fluid  and the application of this theory for engineering purpose. This theory has not only been used in cars but also in planes .

A 1.2 kg basketball is thrown upwards. What is the potential energy of the basketball at the top of its path if it reaches a hei
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Answer is 183.6 J

Explanation:

Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Mass= 1.2

Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)

Height= 15.6
