Find the weight of an astronaut whose mass is 75 kg on the moon

1 answer:

8 0

The formula for weight is always weight=mass X gravitational field strength.
We already know the mass is 75kg.
The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N. To find out the weight, we can substitute these values in to the formula.
Weight=75 X 1.6
Weight= 120N
Weight is measured on Neutons as it is a force.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?

Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

finlep [7]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Voltage = I (current) . Resistance

You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.

In this case...

R = V/I

R = 12/3

R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is $t = 2.595 \ s$

The speed is $v = 25.43 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the cliff is $h = 33 \ m$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

before the jump the persons initial velocity is u = 0 m/s

$33 = 0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2$

=> $t = 2.595 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation

$v= u + gt$

=> $v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595$

=> $v = 25.43 \ m/s$

alekssr [168]

Answer:

b)determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Explanation:

The electric Field is a vector quantity, in other words it has a magnitude and a direction. On the other hand, the electric field follows the law of superposition. The electric field produced by two elements is equal to the sum of the electric fields produced by each element when the other element is not present. in other words, the total electric field is solved determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.
