An 80kg astronaut traveled to the moon, where gravity is one-sixth (116) as
1 answer:
Answer:
Wmoon = 131 [N]
Explanation:
We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

a) 1.57 m/s
The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is
T = 2.0 s
Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is
The linear speed of the sock is given by
where
is the angular velocity
r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock
Substituting, we find:
B) Faster
In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:
At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:
Therefore, the new linear speed would be:
And substituting,
So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.
