Weight = (mass) x (gravity).
It always acts downward.
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.807 m/s².
On the Moon, the acceleration of gravity is 1.623 m/s².
On Earth, the rocket's weight is (0.8kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 7.84 newtons
On the Moon, the rocket's weight is (0.8kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = 1.3 newtons
The force of the rocket engine acts upward.
Its magnitude is 12 newtons. (From the burning chemicals.
Doesn't depend on local gravity. Same force everywhere.)
Now we have all the data we need to mash together and calculate the
answers to the question. You might choose a different method, but the
machine that I have selected to do the mashing with is Newton's 2nd law
of motion:
Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
Since the question is asking for acceleration, let's first solve Newton's law
for it. Divide each side by (mass) and we have
Acceleration = (net force) / (mass) .
On Earth, the forces on the rocket are
(weight of 7.84 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) = 4.16 newtons UP (net)
Acceleration = (4.16 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 5.2 m/s² UP .
On the moon, the forces on the rocket are
(weight of 1.3 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) = 10.7 newtons UP (net)
Acceleration = (10.7 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 13.375 m/s² UP
The relationship between force (F), mass (m) and acceleration (a) is described in the equation F = ma. This equation means that a new force acting on a body will change velocity, and conversely, a change in velocity will generate a force
Q: An appliance with a 20 Ω resistor has a power rating of 15.0 W. Find the maximum current which can flow safely through the appliance g
Answer:
0.866 A
Explanation:
From the question,
P = I²R............................. Equation 1
Where P = power, I = maximum current, R = Resistance.
Make I the subject of the equation
I = √(P/R).................... Equation 2
Given: P = 15 W, R = 20 Ω
Substitute these values into equation 2
I = √(15/20)
I = √(0.75)
I = 0.866 A
Hence the maximum current that can flow safely through the appliance = 0.866 A
Position displacement velocity acceleration are vectors and the rest are scalars
As electrons move through the conductor, some collide with atoms, other electrons, or impurities in the metal.
