On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

What is the force exerted on a charge of 2. 5 µC moving perpendicular through a magnetic field of 3. 0 × 102 T with a velocity o
stira [4]

The force acting on a moving charge is known as the magnetic force. The force acting on the charge will be 3.75 N.

<h3>What is the force exerted on the charge?</h3>

Magnetic fields only exert a force on a moving electric charge. A moving charge generates a magnetic field. With an increase in charge and magnetic field strength, this force rises.

when charges have higher velocities, the force is stronger. However, the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Mathematically the force exerted on the charge will be

F=qvBsinα

F= force acting on the charge

v = velocity of charge

q = charge

F=qvBsinα

F=2.5×10⁻⁶×5.0×10³×3.0×10²

F=37.5 N

Hence The force acting on the charge will be 3.75 N.

To learn more about the force acting on charge refer to ;

F = q V B sinα

Where F is the force applied to a moving charge.

V = charge velocity

q stands for charge.

α = angle between V and B directions

As a result, the moving charge is subjected to a force of 3.75 Newton.

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h
