Question

) a block is on a frictionless table, on earth. the block accelerates at 5.3 m/s 2 when a 10 n horizontal force is applied to it. the block and table are set up on the moon. the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s 2. a horizontal force of 5 n is applied to the block when it is on the moon. the acceleration imparted to the block is closest to: 3)
a.3.4 m

Answer 1

When horizontal force is applied on block then as per Newton's II law we will have

$F = ma$

$10 = m(5.3)$

so here mass will be

$m = 1.89 kg$

now on same block F = 5 N is applied on surface of Moon

so on surface on moon we will have

$F = ma$

$5 = 1.89 a$

$a = 2.65 m/s^2$

so above is acceleration on surface of moon
