Answer:

We use the relationship F = m x a, adapted for Weight: W = m x g

Weight is the force, m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. Take an example: you are 100 kg made up of 70 kg of body mass and 30 kg of space suit. Your weight on the Moon would be 100 kg x 1.62 m/s^2 = 162 Newtons (weight force).

On Earth that would be a Weight of 100 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 981 Newtons.

Answer:

$\alpha=0.16\frac{rad}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined as the variation of angular speed with respect to time:

$\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}$

The relation between the angular speed and the linear speed is given by:

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$\alpha=\frac{v}{rt}$

We need to convert $\frac{km}{h}$ to $\frac{m}{s}$ :

$22\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=6.11\frac{m}{s}$

Recall that:

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.7m}{2}=3.5m$

Replacing:

$\alpha=\frac{6.11\frac{m}{s}}{(3,5m)(10.8s)}\\\alpha=0.16\frac{rad}{s^2}$

Describe how the pendulum works.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A pendulum works by converting energy back and forth, a bit like a rollercoaster ride. When the bob is highest (furthest from the ground), it has maximum stored energy (potential energy). ... So as the bob swings (oscillates) back and forth, it repeatedly switches its energy back and forth between potential and kinetic.

The distance from earth to mars ranges between 780,000,000 km and 380,000,000 km depending on the time of the year. The speed of

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

v = d / t
