Answer:

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

Explanation:

As we know that the mass of the object is the measurement of the quantity of the matter that is present in it

So here we can say that if the mass of the object is m then its total quantity of the matter that is present in it is given as

mass = (density)\times (volume)

Now for the weight of the object is defined as the force of gravity due to planet

F_g = mg

so the weight of the object is depending on the acceleration due to gravity of the planet

As we know that the gravity of moon is smaller than the gravity of the earth so here weight on the moon will be smaller than the weight on the Earth

so correct answer will be

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

mass is the same, weight is less because weight =mass ×gravity

A potato is launched from the ground at an 73 degree angle with a velocity of 48 m/s.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

107.4 meters

Explanation:

gravity is 9.8m/s^2

max height = (velocity squared times sin squared angle) ÷ ( speed of gravity times 2 )

max height = (48 squared times sin of 73 squared) ÷ ( 9.8 times 2 )
