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/
)
m = 
= 2.5 lbs
Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.
Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.
Answer:
Explanation:
Remark
This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.
Givens
d1 = 1.5
d2 = ?
m1 = 50 kg
m2 = 30 kg
The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.
Formula
d1*m1 = d2*m2
1.5*50 = d2 * 30
75 = 30 * d2
75/30 = d2
d2 = 2.5
Remark
Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.
Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D
Problem 2
1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over
2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.
Answer:
The body acts under the influence of gravity.
Explanation:
An object experiencing free fall is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the acceleration due gravity is positive for any falling object. The body is able to fall freely due to the effect of gravity on it. This gravity effect causes the body to get attracted to the earth's gravitational surface due to gravitational pull exerted on the body.
You could try the "Spinning Bucket" or the "Center Of Gravity" experiment. There are plenty more that you could research! Hope this helped :)
