An astronaut weighing 190 lbs on Earth is on a mission to the Moon and Mars.

Physics

Answer:

The weight is defined as:

W = m*g

where:

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration.

We know that in Earth the astronaut weights 190 lb-f (this is force, not mass, the correct unit here is 190 lb*m/s^2)

then:

190 lb*m/s^2 = m*9.8m/s^2

(190 lb*m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2) = 19.39 lb

Now we know the mass of the astronaut.

a) wieght on the moon in Newtons.

Newtons uses kilograms as the units of mass, then we need to rewrite the mass of the astronaut in kg.

we know that 1lb = 0.454 kg

Then 19.39 lb is equal to: 19.39*0.454 kg = 8.8 kg

We know that the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is one-sixth that on Earth.

then: g = (9.8m/s^2)/6

And the weight of the astronaut in the moon will be:

W = 8.8 kg*(9.8m/s^2)/6 = 14.37 N

b) The weight on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 times that on Earth, we have:

g = (9.8m/s^2)*0.38

then the weight will be:

W = 8.8kg*(9.8m/s^2)*0.38 = 32.77 N

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

c. 0.12 m/s

Explanation:

by using momentum formula v_2=\frac{m_1\times v_1}{m_1+m_2}

we get

v_2=\frac{0.15\times 50}{0.15+65}=0.12

A package was determined to have a mass of 5.7 kilograms. What's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?
Arturiano [62]
1.) The force of gravity is what we call weight, we define it as:
w=mg
w=5,7kg*9,8m/s²
w=55,86kg (b)
2.) We know that:
power=W/t
power=50J/20s
power=2,5Watts (a)
3.) The work done is equal to the potential energy, so:
Epg=mgh
Epg=63kg*9,8m/s²*7m
Epg=4321J
Now we get the power:
power=W/t
power=4321J/5s
power=864Watts
Now:
1HP=746Watts
=1,16HP (b)
4.) We know that:
F=ma
350N=m*10m/s²
m=350N/10m/s²
m=35kg (b)
5.) d.) Aceleration is tha rate of change in velocity, either positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing)
