Given parameters:
Mass on earth = 50kg
Unknown:
Mass on planet Xenon = ?
Weight on planet Xenon = ?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.
Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.
This translated gives = 4.9m/s²
Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.
In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N
The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg
Answer:Same magnitude
Explanation:
When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by
if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height
If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by
Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.
