Why does an object have a different weight on the moon than it does on Earth? Everything is weightless in space. Objects move mo

re slowly on the moon. There is no air on the moon, so objects are lighter. The Earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.

The answer is:

<span>The Earth and Moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.

The gravity on the Moon is about (1/6)th that on the Earth.

-- "Weight" is the gravitational attraction between TWO objects.

-- Its 'strength' depends on the mass of BOTH masses.
If either mass changes, then the gravitational force between them changes.

-- Your 'weight' on Earth depends on your mass and the Earth's mass.

-- Your 'weight on the moon depends on your mass and the Moon's mass.

From the list of choices, the best one is  "The Earth and moon have
different values for the acceleration due to gravity.", although that
doesn't really explain much.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is = \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}

\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3

we know that

change in pressure  for oil is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density and h is for oil

\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa

change in pressure  for WATER is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density is for water and h is for water

\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa

pressure change due to both is given as

\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>
