Answer
acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²
weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N
acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²
a) Mass on the earth surface
M = 4.08 Kg
b) Mass on the surface of Lo
Mass of an object remain same.
Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.
c) Weight at the surface of Lo
W' = m g'
W' =4.08 x 1.81
W' = 7.38 N
Answer:
-4.0 N
Explanation:
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
(1)
We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be
And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:
where
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity
t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop
Substituting, we find
(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)
Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:
Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.
