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.

The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee

kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2> $v_f = 35.3 m/s$ </h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

$F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}$

$C_d = 0.35$

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

$A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}$

$A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2$

$v = 40.2 m/s$

so we have

$F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}$

$F = 1.46 N$

So acceleration of the ball is

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}$

$a = 10.1 m/s^2$

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)$

$v_f = 35.3 m/s$

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a

kolezko [41]

Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8 lbs

José and Laurel measured the length of a stick's shadow during the day. Without knowing the length of the stick, which of their

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Assuming the stick is in vertical position, its shadow depends on two factors: its length and the angle between the sun rays and the stick. When the angle is bigger, the lenght of the shadow increases, and vice versa. So, when the sun rays are parallel to the stick, the shadow may be small. Since they are nearly perpendicular to the Earth's surface at 12 o'clock, the shadow of the stick at that time should be minimal. It means that the measured shadow of 75 cm at 12:30 p.m. is almost impossible (Option B).
