Answer:

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.

How many times higher could an astronaut jump on the Moon than on Earth if his takeoff speed is the same in both locations (grav

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

Explanation:

Let the Astronaut has its maximum speed by which he can jump is "v"

now for the maximum height that it can jump is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 aH$

now from above equation we will have

$0 - v^2 = 2(-g)H$

now we have

$H = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

now if Astronaut jump on the surface of moon with same speed

then we know that the acceleration of gravity on surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on earth

so at surface of moon we have

$0 - v^2 = 2(-g/6) H$

now we have

$H = \frac{6v^2}{2g}$

so maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

Concept map for kinetic energy, work and power

Helen [10]

Kinetic energy: the energy of motion

Work: the change in kinetic energy

Power: the rate of work done

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The work done an object is the amount of energy transferred; according to the energy-work theorem, it is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object:

$W=K_f - K_i$
