-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.
-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.
Answer:
Mass remains constant but weight reduces
Explanation:
Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.
Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.
Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.
The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done on the particle:
The work done on the particle is the integral of the force on dx:
So, this corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.
Take 320 and divide by 8
320/8 = 40 mi/hr or A
