The mass of an object is 60kg on the surface of the earth what will be its weight on the surface of the moon

Answer:

Wm = 97.2 [N]

Explanation:

We must make it clear that mass and weight are two different terms, the mass is always preserved that is to say this will never vary regardless of the location of the object. While weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

But in order to calculate the weight of the body on the moon, we must know the gravitational acceleration of the moon. Performing a search of this value on the internet, we find that the moon's gravity is.

gm = 1.62 [m/s²]

Wm = 60*1.62

Wm = 97.2 [N]

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a)  Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 1.5 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

                      t = 0.553 s

      Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.553 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

                      s = 110.6 m

      The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m

How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about earth?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

W = Work done on the satellite in circular orbit about earth by earth

F = Force on gravity on satellite by earth

d = displacement of the satellite

\theta = Angle between the force on gravity and displacement = 90

We know that, Work done is given as

W = F d Cos\theta\\W = F d Cos90\\W = F d (0)\\W = 0 J

A 6.0 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 9.4 cm if the marble is to just reac
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) \Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J, b) \Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J, c) k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

a) The change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system is:

\Delta U_{g} = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (22\,m)

\Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J

b) The change in the elastic potential energy of the spring is equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy, then:

\Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J

c) The spring constant of the gun is:

\Delta U_{k} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot x^{2}

k = \frac{2\cdot \Delta U_{k}}{x^{2}}

k = \frac{2\cdot (12.945\,J)}{(0.094\,m)^{2}}

k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}
