How is the weight of an object in a spaceship near the moon related to the distance that the spaceship is from the moon? A) Ther

e is is no gravity on the moon and therefore they are not related. B) As the distance to the moon decreases, the weight of the spaceship would increase. C) As the distance to the moon increases, the weight of the spaceship would increase. D) The gravitational pull of the moon is constant and therefore the weight would be a constant.

B is correct. Every object has gravity, the more mass the object has, the stronger the gravitational pull, so the ship being closer to the moon makes the weight increase.

Answer:

B) As the distance to the moon decreases, the weight of the spaceship would increase.

Explanation:

The weight of an object(w) is given as,

w = m \times g

where,

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

As the spaceship will move closer to the Moon, impact of its gravity on the spaceship will increase as gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects. In turn the weight of the space ship will also increase.

Which of the following statements about the force on a charged particle due to a magnetic field are not valid?
Vinil7 [7]
The correct answer is "None of the above; all of these statements are valid." All the statements namely, it depends on the particle's charge, it depends on the strength of the external magnetic field, it depends on the particle's velocity, and it acts at right angles to the direction of the particle's motion are all valid. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.
