Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

Answer:

18 kg

Explanation:

  • weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²)
  • force (N) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s²

  • weight = 3.0 (kg) × 10 (m/s²)
  • weight = 30 (N)

Since weight is a force, the force is 30 N. The value of spring constant is unknown

  • 30 (N) = k × 5 (m)
  • k = 6 (m/N)

Spring constant is 6. Now let's find the mass on the Moon

  • mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

Gravitational acceleration of the moon is 1/6 of that on Earth. Earth's g = 10, so Moon's g = 10/6

  • m × 10/6 = 6 × 5
  • m = 30/(10/6)
  • m = 18

The mass is 18 kg

The correct answer is 1 and 4.

Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.

Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.

Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.
