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

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

Momentum = 7.2 gm/s.

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

$D = 10 * sin (30)$

$D = 5 \ cm$
