If the moon's acceleration due to gravity caused by its gravitational field is one-sixth that of the earth, what is its accelera

tion at a point in space 3R (three moon radii) from its center? (Use the earth's value of "g" as your significant figure reference; i.e., use 2 SF.)
_______ m/s^2

To make it easy, let's call the moon's surface gravity 'Q'.  We know that Q is 1/6 of 'g', but let's just hold onto that for a minute.   Let's first work out what it is at 3 moon radii from the moon's center, and once we have that, relate it back to the Earth.

We know that the strength of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the two objects.  On the moon's surface, you're 1 Moon radius from the center.  At 3 Moon radii from the center, you're 3 times as far from the center, so the gravity out there is (1/3²) = 1/9 of the gravity on the surface.

So at 3 Moon radii from the surface, the Moon's gravity is ( Q/9 ) .  

So far, so good. Now, we know that Q is (1/6) x (Earth 'g').

Moon's gravity at 3 Moon radii = Q/9

Substitute g/6 for Q.

Moon's gravity at 3 Moon radii = (g/6) / 9 .

Moon's gravity at 3 Moon radii = g/54

(9.8 m/s) / 54 = <em>0.18 m/s²</em>

When grip strength increases:
Nitella [24]

Answer:

e. the number of active motor units increases.

Explanation:

There is a direct relationship between the number of active motor units and the grip strength in a given scenario. <em>For example, increase in the grip strength leads to increase in the number of active motor units. In the other-hand, the decrease in grip strength leads to the decrease in the number of active motor units.</em>

A
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The conduction path or simply the wires connected between different components in a circuit.

Explanation:

The wire makes up the path for the electricity to flow and most of the electricity flows through this. It is like a road connecting two house or buildings in a town and the traffic of vehicles is the electricity (current).

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.
