Answer:

A) 6N

Explanation:

the weight of the astronaut on earth can be calculated with the formula

Weight = mass * gravity of earth

Since the gravitational force is one-hundredth of Earth, the formula should be

Weight = mass * (gravity of earth / 100)

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Since you already know the weight, you only need to divide by 100

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Weight = 600N / 100

Weight = 6N

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
Vesnalui [34]
Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i
givi [52]
The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75
