The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg where-ever they are.

Answer: Gravity causes a change in the mass of objects on earth and the moon.

Explanation:

Because of gravity, the weight of objects lessen, and decrease because of gravity. If you were to drop an object from earth from space, the object would have more mass. Hope that helps.

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, $\omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm$

Angular velocity, $\omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm$

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}$

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

$\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=2.09\ rad/s$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}$

$\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2$

Hence, The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

What is the motional kinetic energy of a 25 kg object moving at a speed of 10 m/s?

Soloha48 [4]

1250kgm²/s is the motional kinetic energy of a 25kg object moving at a speed of 10m/s

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possessed when that is in motion. It is the energy of the kinetic mass of an object. Kinetic energy is never negative and is a scalar quantity. That is, it shows only size, not orientation.

Given to us

Mass of the object, m=25kg

Velocity of the object, v=10m/s

K.E=1/2x25x10²

=1250

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity squared (K.E.) of an object. =1/2xMxV². If the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters/second, then the kinetic energy is in kilograms - meters squared/second.

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?(unit=kg)

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: mass = 38.93 kg

Explanation:

Data

mass = ?

Weight = 382 N

gravity = 9.81 m/s2

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

mass = weight / gravity

mass = 382 / 9.81 substitution

mass = 38.93 kg result

Find the slit separation of a double-slit arrangement that will produce interference fringes 0.018 rad apart on a distant screen

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.64 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Angular separation, θ = 0.018 rad

Wavelength, λ = 589 nm = 5.89 * 10^(-7) m

The angular separation when there are 2 slots is given as

θ = λ/2d

where d = separation between slits

d = λ/2θ

d = (589 * 10^(-9))/(2 * 0.018)

d = 1.64 * 10^(-5) m
