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 disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 600 N. Find its shear deformation, taking it to have t
Art [367]

Answer:

3.34×10^-6m

Explanation:

The shear modulus can also be regarded as the rigidity. It is the ratio of shear stress and shear strain

can be expressed as

shear stress/(shear strain)

= (F/A)/(Lo/ . Δx)

Stress=Force/Area

The sheear stress can be expressed below as

F Lo /(A *Δx)

Where A=area of the disk= πd^2/4

F=shearing force force= 600N

Δx= distance

S= shear modulus= 1 x 109 N/m2

Lo= Lenght of the cylinder= 0.700 cm=7×10^-2m

If we make Δx subject of the formula we have

Δx= FLo/(SA)

If we substitute the Area A we have

Δx= FLo/[S(πd^2/4]

Δx=4FLo/(πd^2 *S)

If we input the values we have

(4×600×0.7×10^-2)/10^9 × 3.14 ×(4×10^-2)^2

= 3.35×10^-6m

Therefore, its shear deformation is 3.35×10^-6m

A=area of the disk= πd^2/4

= [3.142×(4×10^-2)^2]/4

Spacetime interval: What is the interval between two events if in some given inertial reference frame the events are separated b
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

  • a. \Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2
  • b. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2
  • c. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

Explanation:

The spacetime interval \Delta s^2 is given by

\Delta s ^2 = \Delta (c t) ^ 2 - \Delta \vec{x}^2

please, be aware this is the definition for the signature ( + - - - ), for the signature (- + + + ) the spacetime interval is given by:

\Delta s ^2 = - \Delta (c t) ^ 2 + \Delta \vec{x}^2.

Lets work with the signature ( + - - - ), and, if needed in the other signature, we can multiply our interval by -1.

<h3>a.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (7.5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 5,625 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 3 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (899,377,374 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2 - 5,625 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

<h3>b.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 0.58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (173,879,625.6 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

<h3>c.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (1.73879 \ 10^{10} \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2
