Why is the weight of an object on the moon 1/6 th its weight on the earth?

1 answer:

7 0

The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth as a result the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth.

cycling at 13.0 m/s on your new aero carbon fiber bike, how much times would it take a pro cyclist to ride in 120 km? Give your

sp2606 [1]

We have that the time in seconds, minutes, and hours is

$t=1.083*10^{-4}s$

$T_{min}=1.805*10^{-6}min$

$T_{hours}=3.0083*10^{-8}hours$

From the Question we are told that

Velocity $v=13.0m/s$

Distance $d=120 km$

Generally the equation for the Time is mathematically given as

$t=\frac{13}{120*10^3}\\\\t=1.083*10^{-4}s$

Therefore

$T_{min}=1.083*10^{-4}s/60$

$T_{min}=1.805*10^{-6}min$

And

$T_{hours}=T_{min}/60$

$T_{hours}=3.0083*10^{-8}hours$

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)

zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F$

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

drek231 [11]

<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>
