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

Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the
mash [69]

Answer:

The value is }  N  =  66 \  blocks

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is W_b  = 100 \  N

The dimension of the block is d =  0.400 m  \ X  \ 0.250 \  m  \  X  \ 0.130 \ m

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

P_{2atm} =  2 *  1.013 *10^{5} =  202600 \  N/m^2

Generally 1 atm = 1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

A =  0.250 *  0.130

=> A =  0.0325 \  m^2

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

F =  N  *  W_b

Here N is the number of blocks

So

}  202600 =  \frac{N  *  100 }{ 0.0325}

=>   }  N  =  66 \  blocks

Ask Your Teacher Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers throws a perfect football spiral at 6.9 rev/s. The radius of a pro football
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a=159.32\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular speed of the football spiral, \omega=6.9\ rev/s=43.35\ rad/s

Radius of a pro football, r = 8.5 cm = 0.085 m

The velocity is given by :

v=r\omega

v=0.085\times 43.35

v = 3.68 m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(3.68)^2}{0.085}

a=159.32\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the laces on the football is 159.32\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A hazard sign has 3 identical
melomori [17]

Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.

For a parallelogram:

P = 2*length + 2*width

So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.

Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is

h=\sqrt{18^{2}+6^{2}}

h=\sqrt{360}

h = 19 in

Perimeter of the first stripe is

P = (2*19) + (2*3)

P = 44 inches

The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is

P_{t}= 44 + 44 + 44

P_{t}= 132 inches

To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.

How does newton's second law describe the motion of an object?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
