A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 =

115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?

18. Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5 kg object on the moon will weigh A. the same amount. B. less. C. more.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

                                                         

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"

Io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________.
Inga [223]

Answer:

the orbit of Io around Jupiter causes the tidal heating.

Explanation:

Io's elliptical orbit causes the tidal force to vary as it orbits Jupiter.

Because Jupiter is a very massive planet, it has a very large gravitational pull on its moons, so the side of Io facing the planet is experiencing a greater gravitational pull than the opposite side.  This causes a distortion in the shape of the Io, and a friction that causes the tidal heating.

This friction generates heat currents, which is what makes Io the place with the most volcanic activity in the solar system.
