Answer:

6318 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) =.?

gₘ = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = gₑ /6

Cross multiply

gₑ = 1.62 × 6

gₑ = 9.72 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the container on the earth as follow:

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) = 9.72 m/s²

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

W = m × gₑ

W = 650 × 9.72

W = 6318 N

Therefore, the weight of the container on earth is 6318 N

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg
