Answer:
4.662 slugs
Explanation:
Your mass on the moon should always be the same as any planet you are on (due to law of mass conservation), only your weight be different as gravitational acceleration is different on each planet.
If you weight 150 lbf on Earth, and gravitational acceleration on Earth is 32.174 ft/s2. The your mass on Earth is
m = W / g = 150 / 32.174 = 4.662 slugs
which is also your mass on the moon.
The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
Answer:
F = 32 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
F = forces applied [N] (units of Newtons)
m = mass = 40 [kg]
a = acceleration = 0.8 [m/s²]
Now replacing:
![F=m*a\\F = 40*0.8\\F = 32 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3Dm%2Aa%5C%5CF%20%3D%2040%2A0.8%5C%5CF%20%3D%2032%20%5BN%5D)
Answer: E) A) salt water.
Explanation:
E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:
p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.
A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.
As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.
In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
