Given data:
* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.
* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.
Solution:
The weight of the ball on the planet X is,
where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,
Substituting the known values,
Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.
The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.
<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.
As we know, the gravitational force is given by:
Where G is the gravitational constant.
m1 and m2 are masses.
r is the distance between the masses.
Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced
mg = ρVg
m = ρV
g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.
Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.
An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.
