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:

<em>Due to gravitational force</em>

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)

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

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

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

So, obviously weight changes on moon due to gravitational pull

Such information is valid when A. it is not biased.
There is no bias in science - the results are either correct or incorrect; personal opinions have nothing to do with that. B is incorrect because the point of experiments is that they can be repeated to achieve the same results. C and D are likewise incorrect as primary sources are important, and you can share the results with others if you want to.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 x 10-3 cm kg x m/s. Express this as provided or use any equivalent unit. How i
Leno4ka [110]

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>

What is the length of the shadow cast on the vertical screen by your 10.0 cm hand if it is held at an angle of θ=30.0∘ above hor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The  length is  D  =  5 \ cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told  that

     The  length of the  hand is  l  =  10.0 \ cm

      The  angle at the hand is  held is  \theta  =  30 ^o

Generally resolving the length the length of the hand to it vertical component we obtain that the length of the shadow on the vertical wall is mathematically evaluated as

             D  =  l * sin(\theta )

substituting values

             D  =  10 * sin (30)

             D  =  5 \ cm
