The moon has a smaller mass than the Earth. If

Physics
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

If you were on the Moon, which has significantly less mass than the Earth, your weight would: decrease

The point that seemed to be giving me a complicated time was being able to distinguish the difference and meaning of weight and mass and being able to apply that to a problem. I kept mixing up the definitions. For example in homework 3.1, one question asked:

If you were on the moon, which has significantly less mass than the earth, your mass would:

a. increase

b. decrease

c. stay the same

d. become zero

The definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object. The definition of weight is the amount or unit of force. For me, I just had to remember that when it asked about weight, it wasn’t referring how heavy an object is. After I was able to recognize that when it came to weight, questions became easier.

The final and correct answer was decreasing. The answer is because the Moon’s mass is less. This means the gravitational force is less on your body, therefore, your mass is going to be lighter

To develop a product that warms peoples hands would you use an exothermic or endothermic reaction? Why?
il63 [147K]
Exothermic because exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings. Endothermic reactions take in energy from the surroundings, so if you want to warms people's hands you should use exothermic chemical reaction for the product.

A cylinder is filled with 10.0 L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 163. kPa.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

P₂  = 370 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's  law: States that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided the temperature remains constant. It can be expressed mathematically as,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂................ Equation 1

Where P₁ = Initial Pressure, V₁ = Initial volume, P₂ = Final Pressure, V₂ = Final Volume.

Making P₂ The subject of the equation above,

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂..................... equation 2

Substituting these vaues into equation 2,

Where P₁ = 163 kPa = 163000 pa, V₁ =  10 L, V₂ = 4.4 L.

P₂ = 163000(10)/4.4

P₂ = 370454.55 Pa

P₂ = 370000 Pa

P₂  = 370 kPa To 3 significant figure.

Therefore Final pressure = 370 kPa

An object of mass M oscillates on the end of a spring. To double the period, replace the object with one of mass: (a) 2M. (b)M/2
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

(c) 4M

Explanation:

The system is a loaded spring. The period of a loaded spring is given by

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

<em>m</em> is the mass and <em>k</em> is the spring constant.

It follows that, since <em>k</em> is constant,

T\propto\sqrt{m}

\dfrac{T}{\sqrt{m}} = C where <em>C</em>  represents a constant.

\dfrac{T_1}{\sqrt{m_1}} = \dfrac{T_2}{\sqrt{m_2}}

m_2 = m_1\left(\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2

When the period is doubled, T_2 = 2T_1.

m_2 = m_1\left(\dfrac{2T_1}{T_1}\right)^2 = 4m_1

Hence, the mass is replaced by 4M.
