weight less on moon than on earth.

high on lift off - G force

low in orbit.

zero at a point between earth and moon

Answer:

Due to gravitational force

We know that,

weight (W) = m. g Newtons

Where m = mass , in Kg

g = gravitational force (m/s²)

= 9.8 m/s (it is constant on earth)

So, from equation we knew that Weight is proportional to the gravitational force assuming fixed mass.

On the moon the gravitational force (g) is very less compared to the earth gravitational force, i.e., 1.62 m/s²

Therefore from equation of weight W = m. g is very less by considering the gravitational force on moon.

So, obviously weight changes on moon due to gravitational pull

What must be the length of a simple pendulum if its oscillation frequency is to be equal to that of an air-track glider of mass

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the air-track glider, m = 0.25 kg

spring constant, k = 9.75 N/m

let the length of the simple pendulum = L

let the frequency of the air-track glider which is equal to frequency of simple pendulum = F

The oscillation frequency of air-track glider is calculated as;

$F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{9.75}{0.25} } \\\\F = 0.994 \ Hz$

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given as;

$F = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi(F) = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi (0.994) = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\6.2455 = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\(6.2455)2 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\39.006 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\l = \frac{9.8}{39.006} \\\\l = 0.25 \ m$

Thus, the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

What do tripped circuit breakers and blown fuses indicate.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

When a circuit breaker regularly trips or a fuse repeatedly blows, it is a sign that you are making excessive demands on the circuit and need to move some appliances and devices to other circuits. Or, it may indicate that your house has too few circuits and is in need of a service upgrade.
