When we say "<span>The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s</span>²) on the Earth's surface, so
<span>it would be (9.8/6 m/s</span>²) on the Moon's surface.
<span>
The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) </span>· (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .
<span>
If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is 

(24 kg) </span>· (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

A 8.0-cm long solenoid has 2000 turns of wire and carries a current of 5.0-A. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field at th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

B = 0.157 T

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the solenoid, l = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Number of turns in the wire, N = 2000

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. It is given by the formula as follows :

N=\mu_o nI, N is number of turns per unit length of solenoid.

So,

B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2000}{0.08}\times 5\\\\=0.157\ T

So, the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.157 T.

An Olympic high jumper leaps over a horizontal bar. The jumper's center of mass is raised 0.25 m during the jump. Calculate the
omeli [17]

The minimum speed with which the athlete must leave the ground is 2.21 m/s

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Maximum Height (h) = 0.25 m
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Initial velocity (u) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (going against gravity)

0² = u² – (2 × 9.8 × 0.25)

0 = u² – 4.9

Collect like terms

u² = 0 + 4.9

u² = 4.9

Take the square root of both side

u = √4.9

u = 2.21 m/s

Thus, the athlete must leave the ground with a minimum speed of 2.21 m/s.

If you increase the mass of an object, but keep the force on it constant, its acceleration decreases? true or false
Elenna [48]

That statement is true.

Prof Newton said:        Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- If the force is constant, then the right side
of the equation must be constant too.

-- The right side of the equation is the product

                                               (mass) x (acceleration) .

-- If either of those changes, then in order to keep the product
constant, the other one has to change in the opposite direction.

-- So if the mass increases, then the acceleration decreases.
