A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is la

unched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the maximum altitude of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth?

With smaller gravitational forces and therefor less vertical acceleration, the projectile launched on the moon ... with the same initial speed and direction ...

-- climbs faster,

-- spends more time climbing,

-- reaches a higher peak,

-- falls slower,

-- spends more time falling, and

-- covers more horizontal distance

than the projectile launched on the Earth.

This is not because of air resistance.  It would be true even if there were no air resistance on the Earth.  It's entirely a gravity thing.

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude A. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by,
DiKsa [7]

Since it's a transverse wave, a particle on the string moves left and right as the wave passes by, but the particle doesn't travel forward or backward at all.

So the little red dot moves 'A' to the left, then 'A' back to the center, then 'A' to the right, then 'A' back to the center again.

All together, the red dot moves a total distance of <em>4A . (choice 'a')</em>

A 3 kg rubber block is resting on wet concrete. The coefficient of static friction is 0.3. What is the minimum force that must b
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

You would have to find the friction force of the rubber block which would be found with the equation of Normal force (mass*gravity) times cooeficient of friction which would give 8.82 N for the amount of friction and because you need more force than 8.82 N (assuming gravity is 9.8)

Explain how a generator creates electricity.
vlada-n [284]

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. hope it helps man

Weight and mass are interchangeable terms. True or False
Nonamiya [84]
It's false. Mass is a way of measuring how much matter an object contains, where as weight measures how hard gravity is pulling on an object. While on earth, these are typically interchangeable. However, if you were to go to Mars, your mass would stay the same, but the weight will be different. This is because you still contain the same amount of matter, but the gravity's pull will be different because the moon has a different gravitational pull than the earth. Hope this helps!
