The acceleration from gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s. How much less force

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]2 years ago
7 0

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.

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the
laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, \Delta f = 4\ beats/s

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

\Delta f = f - f_{i}

f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f

when

f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz

when

f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz

In this example we will analyze the forces acting on your body as you move in an elevator. Specifically, we will consider the ca
dexar [7]

Answer:

The reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N

Explanation:

Given;

the reading of the scale when the elevator is at rest = your weight, w = 600 N

downward acceleration the elevator, a = 2.5 m/s²

The reading of the scale can be found by applying Newton's second law of motion;

the reading of the scale  = net force acting on your body

R = mg + m(-a)

The negative sign indicates downward acceleration

R = m(g - a)

where;

R is the reading of the scale which is your apparent weight

m is the mass of your body

g is acceleration due to gravity, = 9.8 m/s²

m = w/g

m = 600 / 9.8

m = 61.225 kg

The reading of the scale is now calculated as;

R = m(g-a)

R = 61.225(9.8 - 2.5)

R = 446.94 N

Therefore, the reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N
