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.

An experimental tungsten light bulb filament has a length of 5 cm and a diameter of 0.074 cm. The filament is basically just a w
adell [148]

Answer:

power emitted is 1.75 W

Explanation:

given data

length l = 5 cm = 5 ×10^{-2} m

diameter d = 0.074 cm = 74 ×10^{-5} m

total filament emissivity = 0.300

temperature = 3068 K

to find out

power emitted

solution

we find first area that is π×d×L

area = π×d×L

area = π×74 ×10^{-5}×5 ×10^{-2}

area = 1162.3892  ×10^{-5} m²

so here power emitted  is express as

power emitted  = E × σ × area × (temperature)^4

put here all value

power emitted  = 0.300× 5.67 × 1162.3892  ×10^{-5}  × (3068)^4

power emitted = 1.75 W

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

F_{12} = F_{21}

so we know that

\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}

so we have

\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

A proton has a charge of 1.6 × 10-19 C and a mass of 1.67 × 10-27 kg. A proton moves with velocity 1.8 × 105 m/s in the z-direct
lord [1]

Hey

So first we need to know what the direction of the force is, using your right hand rule point your right hand in the direction of the velocity. You're saying its the z direction, not telling me whether it's into the page or out? Since its a positive z im assuming its coming out. The magnetic field is pushing it upwards, so the force is going in the negative x direction.

The force of a magnetic field is

F = Qv X B

What's weird is that you don't need mass in this equation. Actually you don't even need the formula, its telling you that they're all going in perpendicar directions. the answer is 90 degrees.

Now if you want to know the F just multiply the charge, velocity and magnetic field .

F = GVB

F = 6.048 E -15

Answer : 90 degrees, sin(90) = 1
