What happened to the weight of an object when it is taken from Earth to the Moon? why?​

Physics
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
6 0

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>

Jody has a mass of 50 kilograms what is his weight on earth
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Weight of body = 490 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of the body is the total amount of matter contained in the body but Weight of the body is the force exerted by gravity on the body. Weight of the body depends upon acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

Thus,

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

W = weight of the body

m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = 50 × 9.8

W = 490 \frac{kg m}{s^{2}}

W = 490 Newton

Hence, weight of the body is 490 Newton.

A coaxial cable carries a current I =0.02A through a wire of radius Rw=.2mmin one direction and an identical current through the
Anna [14]

Answer:

a)  B = 10⁻¹ r , b)  B = 4 10⁻⁹ / r , c) B=0

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Ampere's law

            ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

Where I is the current locked in the path. Let's take a closed path as a circle

          ds = 2π dr

          B 2π r = μ₀ I

          B = μ₀ I / 2μ₀ r

Let's analyze several cases

a) r <Rw

Since the radius of the circumference is less than that of the wire, the current is less, let's use the concept of current density

          j = I / A

For this case

         j = I /π Rw² = I’/π r²

         I’= I r² / Rw²

The magnetic field is

        B = (μ₀/ 2π) r²/Rw²   1 / r

        B = (μ₀ / 2π) r / Rw²

calculate

        B = 4π 10⁻⁷ /2π   r / 0.002²

        B = 10⁻¹ r

b) in field  between   Rw <r <Rs

In this case the current enclosed in the total current

      I = 0.02 A

      B = μ₀/ 2π   I / r

      B = 4π 10⁻⁷ / 2π  0.02 / r

      B = 4 10⁻⁹ / r

c) the field outside the coaxial Rs <r

In this case the waxed current is zero, so

       B = 0

Currently, the Sun is thought to be located in the galactic _____________ about ____________ the center of the galaxy.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. Disk, 28 thousand light-years from

Explanation:

Since, a galactic disc is a component of disc galaxies, for instance spiral galaxies and lenticular galaxies. It consists of a stellar component and a gaseous component.

Also, the Sun lies within the galactic disk or in other words it is thought to be located in the galactic disk,

The Sun is located about 26,000 light-years away from the centre of the galaxy.

∵ From the given options 28,000 is nearest to 26,000

Hence, the sun is about 28 thousand light-years from the centre of the galaxy.

i.e. OPTION 'a' would be correct.

A bike first accelerates from 0.0m/s to 4.5m/s in 4.5 s, the continues at this constant speed for another 6.0 s. What is the tot
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

37.125 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

<u>Distance during acceleration</u>

Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.

Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be

a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}

Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion

s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125 =10.125 m

<u>Distance at a constant speed</u>

At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time

Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m

<u>Total distance</u>

Total=27+10.125=37.125 m

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>
