I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth.
Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.
HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the
question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an
inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as
gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his
weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.
<span>Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will
also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.</span>
Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
Answer:
(A) Reading will be 65 N
(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N
Explanation:
We have given the balance force = 65 N
Acceleration due to gravity 
We know that W=mg
So 
m = 6.632 kg
(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N
(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 
So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=
So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N
Meiosis creates the gamete cells, because these cells are used in reproduction they only have 26 chromosomes two of these cells join together to make a full 46 chromosomes.
Hope this helps! :)
Explanation:
1. Convex mirror is curved outward.
2. Convex mirror forms an image that is smaller than the object.
3. Concave mirror is used to focus light rays. That's why it is also known as a converging mirror.
4. Plane mirror has a flat surface. It forms the same size of the image as that of the object.
