"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.

If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Answer:
Acceleration due to gravity, 
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of Pluto, 
Distance between Neptune and Pluto, 
The force of gravity is balanced by the gravitational force between Neptune and Pluto. It is given by :
So, the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Pluto is 
. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
gravity
Explanation:
Gravity pulls the planets toward the Sun. Gravity pulls the moon toward Earth. Gravity pulls us toward the Earth. Gravity is a force. Inertia.
Answer:
Thus, the time for the first lamp is 44 minutes.
Explanation:
Power of first lamp, P' = 1000 W
Power of second lamp, P'' = 4400 W
time for second lamp, t'' = 10 minutes
Let the time for first lamp is t'.
As the energy is same, so,
P' x t' = P'' x t''
1000 x t' = 4400 x 10
t' = 44 minutes
Hello!
This is an example of an inelastic collision, where the two objects "stick" to each other after their collision. (The Goalkeeper CATCHES the puck).
We can write out the conservation of momentum formula:
m1vi + m2vi = m1vf + m2vf
Let:
m1 = mass of puck
m2 = mass of the goalkeeper
We know that the initial velocity of the goalkeeper is 0, so:
m1vi + m2(0) = m1vf + m2vf
m1vi = m1vf + m2vf
The final velocities will be the same, so:
m1vi = (m1 + m2)vf
Plug in the given values:
(0.16)(40)/ (0.16 + 120) = vf ≈ 0.0533 m/s
Using the equation for momentum:
p = mv
The object with the LARGER mass will have the greater momentum. Thus, the Goalkeeper has the largest momentum as p = mv; a greater mass correlates to a greater momentum since the velocity is the same between the two objects. The puck would have a momentum of p = (.16)(0.0533) = 0.008528 kgm/s, whereas the goalkeeper would have a momentum of
p = (120)(0.0533) = 6.396 kgm/s.
