Answer:

Part a)

W = 16.7 N

Part b)

r = 2.45 R

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on the surface of earth

So the force due to gravity will decrease by the factor of 6

so we will have

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}W_{earth}

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}(100)

W_{moon} = 16.7 N

Part b)

For the same value of the weight as the surface of moon the acceleration due to gravity of earth must be 1/6 times

so we have

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{GM}{6R^2}

r^2 = 6R^2

r = 2.45 R

alexira [117]

Answer: Technician B only

Explanation:

What actually controls the shifting in a automatic transmission is the vehicle's internal computer that helps shift the gears automatically. This includes a Control Module that adjusts the current provided to solenoids inside to control the gears The hydraulic system is used to select gears dependent on the transmission fluid's pressure applied.

A 1000-kg car moving at 10 m/s brakes to a stop in 5 s. the average braking force is
Marina86 [1]
To calcculate the braking force of the car moving, we use Newton's second law of motion which relates the acceleration and the force of an object moving. The force of an object moving is directly proportional to its acceleration and the proportionality constant is the mass of the object. It is expressed as:

Force = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving object. We calculate acceleration from the velocity and the time given above.

a = (10 m/s) / 5 s = 2 m/s^2

So,
Force = ma
Force = 1000 kg ( 2 m/s^2 )
Force = 2000 kg m/s^2 or 2000 N
