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.

Density offers a convenient means of obtaining the mass of a body from its volume or vice versa; the mass is equal to the volume multiplied by the density (M = Vd), while the volume is equal to the mass divided by the density (V = M/d).

M = V d

M = 1.4 * 2 = 2.8 kg

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min. Work out the difference be

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min.

1 mile = 1.6 km

45 miles = 72.42 km

74 miles = 119.0 km

1 hour 15 min means 1.25 hours

Average speed of Ajoba is :

$v_1=\dfrac{72.42 }{2.5}=28.96\ km/h$

Average speed of Prav,

$v_2=\dfrac{119}{1.25}=95.2\ km/h$

Difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is :

$v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=v_2-v_1\\\\v=95.2-28.96\\\\v=66.24\ km/h$

So, the difference in average speed of Ajoba and Prav is 66.24 km/h.

A car goes from 0 to 26.8 m/s in 6.2 s. What is the average acceleration of the car?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

0 - 60 mph = 0 - 26.8 m/s = 0 - 96.6 km/h; 0 - 100 km/h = 0 - 27.8 m/s = 0 - 62.1 mph.
