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

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i
Tanzania [10]
The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
v= \frac{d}{t}         ⇒ d=v*t

It is given:
v =  \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s}  = 3.2 m/s
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m
