What is the difference in Neil Armstrong’s weight on the moon and on earth? Neils mass is 160kg including his spacesuit and back

pack. The moon’s gravitational pull is only 17% of the Earths gravitational pull. Assume the Earth’s gravitational pull is 10N/kg (if you can show working out.)

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Neil Armstrong = 160kg

Gravitational pull of earth = 10N/kg

Moon's pull = 17% of the earth's pull

Unknown:

Difference between Armstrong's weight on moon and on earth.

Solution:

To find the weight,

   Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = mg

Moon's gravitational pull = 17% of the earth's pull = 17% x 10 = 1.7N/kg

Weight on moon = 160 x 1.7 = 272N

Weight on earth = 160 x 10 = 1600N

The difference in weight = 1600 - 272 = 1328N

The weight of Armstrong on earth is 1328N more than on the moon.

san4es73 [151]

At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor

B. It suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:

  • Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
  • Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
  • Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
  • Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. It suddenly drops to zero
