Answer:
W = 145.8 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.
W = m*g
where:
m = mass = 90 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]
W = 90*1.62
W = 145.8 [N]
Answer:
Explanation:
According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>
<em>"The electrostatic force
between two point charges
and
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>
<em />
Mathematically this law is written as:
Where:
is the electrostatic force
is the Coulomb's constant
and
are the electric charges
is the separation distance between the charges
Solving:
This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.
