Answer: As mass increases, acceleration decreases.
Answer:
13 m/s
Explanation:
I assume we are ignoring friction.
The boy's PE will all be converted to KE at the bottom of the hill.
to find PE = mgh we need to know h
h = 50 sin 10 = 8.68 meters
then: PE = 20 * 9.81 * 8.68 =<u> 1703.49</u> j
KE = 1/2 m v^2 = <u>1703 .49</u>
v = 13 m/s
Answer:
Mass remains constant but weight reduces
Explanation:
Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.
Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.
Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.
