According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration. When you talk about gravitational force, the acceleration referred to here is the acceleration due to gravity. This is very familiar to us in physics. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is equal to 9.81 m/s². It actually depends on the location. According to the Universal Law of Gravitation:

F = Gm₁m₂/d²

The force is a factor of the product of two masses and their distance from each other. The G is a constant called the universal gravitational constants. So, gravitational force is actually a relative force exerted by one body to another. 

Going back the Second Law of Motion, we can modify the equation to:

F = mg

Since it is mentioned that the gravity on the moon is only 1/6 of the Earth, then the gravity for moon is:
g,moon = 1/6(9.81) = 1.635 m/s²
So, let's compare the weight of the object with a mass of 10 kg. The weight is actually the force due to gravity pulling you towards the center of the body.

Weight on Earth = (10 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 98.1 N
Weight on Moon = (10 kg)(1.635 m/s²) = 16.35 N

The mass, on the other hand, is not affected by gravity. It is always constant. Therefore, the mass of the object on the moon is the same with its mass on the Earth.

To transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, the electromagnet in a
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating   loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".

A central air conditioner in a typical American home operates on a 220-V circuit and draws about 15 A
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 220V

Current = 15 A

a. To find the power;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 15 * 220

Power = 3300 Watts

b. To find the energy;

Time = 8 hours = 60 * 60 * 8 = 28800 seconds

Energy = power * time

Energy = 3300 * 8

Energy = 26400

Energy = 26.4 Kwh

c. Cost = 13 cents

Cost = 13 * 31 * 26.4

Cost = 106392 cents
