Answer:

Explanation:

w = mg, and no matter where we go, our masses will never change. Our weight does, however, depending upon the gravity of where we are. Let's first find the weight of the man on earth, where the pull of gravity is -9.8 m/s/s:

w = (60)(-9.8) so

w = 590 N rounded from 588. It's negative because weight is a downward value (whereas Normal force is the upward value of this measurement, making Normal force the positive of this same number)

Now for the moon, where gravity is 1.6 m/s/s:

w = (60)(-1.6) so

w = -96 N

The SI system uses three base units. Question 6 options: True False
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The answer is false

Explanation:

Though the mostly used SI unit of measurement or the most popular units are the

Length,

Time and

Mass

i.e meter (m), seconds (s), kilogram (kg)

Aside all the above stated units for measurements there are other four basic units which are itemized  bellow.

they are

1. Amount of substance - mole (mole)

2. Electric current - ampere (A)

3. Temperature - kelvin (K)

4. Luminous intensity - candela (cd)

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,
fomenos

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25
solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of an inclined plane (angle of inclination θ). How would I find the initial speed of
Katen [24]

Answer:

S = V t     where S is the horizontal distance traveled

1/2 g t^2 = H       where H is the vertical distance traveled

t^2 = 2 H / g

V^2 = S^2 / t^2 = S^2 g / (2 H) combining equations

tan theta = H / S

V^2 = S g / (2 tan theta)

Using S = L cos theta

V^2 = L g cos theta / (2 tan theta)

Giving V in terms of L and theta
