Answer:

the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the product of the mass of the object with the acceleration due to gravity of the Planet.

$W =mg$

where,

W = weight of the object

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet

The mass of an object remains constant everywhere in the universe. Therefore, the weight is directly proportional to the value of acceleration due to gravity.

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is lesser than its value on the Earth.

<u>Hence, the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon </u>

The magnification is less than 1 what does it mean

If magnification is less than one it means the image is the same exact size as the object.

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34

Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.
