Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N

solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10 (g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ )

m = $\frac{25}{10}$

= 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

What is the torque τa about axis a due to the force f⃗ ? express the torque about axis a at cartesian coordinates (0,0)?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$\tau_a = F a sin \theta$

Explanation:

The torque of a force is given by:

$\tau = F d sin \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation of the system

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and d

In this problem, we have:

$F$ , the force

$a$ , the distance of application of the force from the centre (0,0)

$\theta$ , the angle between the direction of the force and a

Therefore, the torque is

$\tau_a = F a sin \theta$

A magnetically soft material is placed in a strong magnetic feild. what is the most likely outcome?

myrzilka [38]

So we want to know what will happen if we put a magnetically soft material in a strong magnetic field. A magnetically soft material is a material whose magnetic field can easily be reversed. Those are ferromagnetic materials. Iron is such a material. When a magnetically soft material is placed into a strong magnetic field it gets its own magnetic field. But its not a permanent magnetic field, it can be changed by a different strong magnetic field.

A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the

ehidna [41]

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is $m=82.9\ kg$

Height of the inclination is $h=20\ m$

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

$\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N$

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A factor of 2*4 = 8

Explanation:

F_g = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

where m1 and m2 are the two masses, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

So, if you double m1 and quadruple m2:

m1' = 2*m1

m2' = 4*m2

Then F_g' = (G*m1'*m2')/r^2 = (G*2*m1*4*m2)/r^2 = 8*(G*m1*m2)/r^2 = 8*F_g
