I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth.
Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.
HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the
question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an
inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as
gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his
weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.
<span>Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will
also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.</span>
Answer:
F = 800 [N]
Explanation:
To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.
We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.
ΣPbefore = ΣPafter
where:
m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]
v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]
F = force [N] (units of Newtons)
t = time = 0.0015 [s]
v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0
![(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%280.15%2A8%29-%28F%2A0.0015%29%20%3D%20%280.15%2A0%29%5C%5CF%2A0.0015%20%3D%200.15%2A8%5C%5CF%20%3D%201.2%2F%280.0015%29%5C%5CF%20%3D%20800%20%5BN%5D)
Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.
Answer:
The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k
Explanation:
Given that :
The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.
Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017
Answer:
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm
Explanation:
Given data
Φ = 5.32 eV
to find out
the longest wavelength
solution
we know that
hf = k(maximum) +Ф ...............1
here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy
so hf = 0
and hc/ λ = +Ф
so λ = hc/Ф ................2
now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV
so hc = 1240 / 5.32
hc = 233 nm
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation
E = 0.5 M V^2
where
E = Energy
M = Mass
V = Velocity
Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion
E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2
E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 J
So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>
