The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1.6 m/sec 2. An experiment to test gravity compares the time it takes objects t

o reach a speed of 10 m/sec after being dropped from rest. How long does an object dropped on the moon have to fall to reach this speed compared to an object dropped on Earth?
Select one:
a. 1.6 times as long
b. 6.1 times as long
c. 9.8 times as long
d. 15.7 times as long

The answer is <span>b. 6.1 times as long
</span>
Step 1: Calculate the time <span>it takes objects to reach a speed on the Moon.
</span>Step 2: Calculate the time it takes objects to reach a speed on the Earth.
Step 3. Divide the time on the Moon by the time on the Earth.

Use the formula: v2 = v1 + at
v2 - the final velocity
v1 - the initial velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

Step 1.
Moon:
<span>v1 = 0 (because it is free fall)
v2 = 10 m/s
a = 1.6 m/s</span>²
t = ?
______
v2 = v1 + at
10 = 0 + 1.6t
10 = 1.6t
t = 10/1.6
t = 6.25 s


Step 2.
Earth:
v1 = 0 (because it is free fall)
v2 = 10 m/s
a = 9.81 m/s²
t = ?
______
v2 = v1 + at
10 = 0 + 9.81t
10 = 9.81t
t = 10/9.81
t = 1.02 s


Step 3:
6.25 s / 1.02 s = 6.1 s

Mass.

Because mass doesn't depend on weight but weight depends on mass.

Objects that are denser than water will sink in water. Question 1 options: True False
den301095 [7]
<h3>Answer: True</h3>

For example, a very dense metal will sink to the bottom while something like wood will float on the surface. The wood is less dense compared to the water, which is why it floats. Density is the measure of how much stuff you can pack in a certain volume. The higher the density, the more stuff per volume. Think of it like packing a suitcase. If there's barely anything in there, then we can say its density is low. The more stuff crammed in the suitcase will increase the density (and therefore the weight), while keeping the volume the same.
