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

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The displacement was 320 meters.

Explanation:

Assuming projectile motion and zero initial speed (i.e., the object was dropped, not thrown down), you can calculate the displacement using the kinematic equation:

d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 8^2 s^2=320 m

The displacement was 320 meters.

A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.30 m/s2. At 20.0 s after bla
lesya [120]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = u +at

u = 0

a = 2.3 m /s²

t = 20 s

v = 2.3 x 20

= 46 m /s

Distance covered under acceleration of 2.3 m/s²

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2.3 x 20²

= 460 m

After that it moves under free fall ie g acts on it downwards .

v² = u² - 2gh , h is height moved by it under free fall

0 = 46² - 2 x 9.8 h

h = 107.96 m

Total height attained

= 460 + 107.96

= 567.96 m

b ) At its highest point ,it stops so  its velocity = 0

c ) rocket's acceleration at its highest point = g = 9.8 downwards .

At highest  point , it is undergoing free fall so its acceleration  = g
