The moon has much less gravitational force than earth. What would happen if you went to the moon?

1 answer:

7 0

Besides suffocating and inflating like a balloon in the Moon's lack of Oxygen, getting cooked during the Moon's daytime, getting frozen solid during the Moon's night-time, and having no access to the internet or any radio or TV stations, you would weigh only about 16% of what you weigh on Earth because of the Moon's lesser gravity.

So like if you weigh 135 pounds on Earth AND you remembered to bring the bathroom scale with you when you left for the Moon, the scale would show that you weigh only a little over 22 pounds there.

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer

Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

According to Hooke's law

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

According to Hook's law, we know,

strain/stress =Constant

Explanation: So, the ratio between stress and strain is always constant.

So, if stress is increased, then strain changes in that way so that this ratio always remains constant.

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.

What is the force of gravity acting on a 1-kg m mass? (g = 9.8 m/s ^ 2)

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Use this F=Ma.

Explanation: So your answer will be

F=1 Kg+9.8 ms-2

So the answer will be

F=9.8N

How'd I do this?

I just used Newton's second law of motion.

I'll also put the derivation just in case.

Applied force α (Not its alpha, proportionality symbol) change in momentum

Δp α p final- p initial

Δp α mv-mu (v=final velocity, u=initial velocity and p=v*m)

or then

F α m(v-u)/t

So, as we know v=final velocity & u= initial velocity and v-u/t =a.

So F α ma, we now remove the proportionality symbol so we'll add a proportionality constant to make the RHS & LHS equal.

So, F=kma (where k is the proportionality constant)

k is 1 so you can ignore it.

So, our equation becomes F=ma
