Answer:

Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

Explanation:

from the question,

W = mg........................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.............. Equation 2

Given: W = 1000 N,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

m = 1000/10

m = 100 kg

Weight on the moon

W' = mg'

W' = 100(1.624)

W' = 162.4 N.

Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

artcher [175]

Answer:

$v = 567.2 km/h$

Explanation:

As we know that if Jupiter Rotate one complete rotation then it means that the it will turn by 360 degree angle

so here the distance covered by the point on its surface in one complete rotation is given by

$distance = 2\pi r$

$distance = \pi D$

now we will have the time to complete the rotation given as

$t = 6 days$

$t = 6 (24 h) = 144 h$

now the speed is given by

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{\pi D}{t}$

$speed = \frac{\pi(26000 km)}{144}$

$v = 567.2 km/h$

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h2> 48kg</h2>

$f = ma \\$

$w \: = \frac{f}{g} \\$

Explanation:

$f \: = ma \\ f - mg = ma \\ f = ma + mg \\ f = 40 \times 2 + 40 \times 10 \\ f = 480$

$w = \frac{f}{g} \\w = \frac{480}{10} \\ w = 48kg$

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular

Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

$F = 159.7 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

$mg - T = ma$

for uniform cylinder we will have

$TR = I\alpha$

so we have

$T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}Ma$

now we have

$mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a$

$a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}$

$a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}$

$a = 7 m/s^2$

now we have

$T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}$

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)$

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

$v_f - v_i = at$

$11.8 - 0 = 7 t$

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

$F = T + Mg$

$F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)$

$F = 159.7 N$
