The moon has a weaker gravitational force than earth. sofia weighs 50 lbs. on earth. how much will she weigh on the moon?
kupik [55]
If Sofia weighs 50 lbs on Earth, then she would weigh 8.3 lbs, because you are 6 times lighter on the moon than you are on Earth!

Alexis walked 1.5 km to her house in 0.5 hours. What is Alexis’ speed?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Speed = 3 [km/h]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed which relates the distance traveled for a while.

Distance = 1.5 [km] = 1500 [m].

time = 0.5 [hr] = 1800 [s]

Speed = Distance/time

Speed = 1.5/0.5

Speed = 3 [km/h] or 1500/1800 = 0.8333[m/s]

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
tia_tia [17]

1.A) 4.9 m  

AL2006 Ace

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.


After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).


Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.


Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered 4.9 meters.


ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

Gravitational forces are forces of attraction. It's like the Earth pulling on you and keeping you on the ground.
