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.

If a car travels 30 mi. north for 30 min., 60 mi. east for 1.0 hour, and 30 mi. south for 30 min., what is the average speed
Ainat [17]

Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph
