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.

How much water will flow in 30 secs through 200 mm of capillary tube of 1.50 mm in diameter, if the pressure difference across t

Paladinen [302]

The water outflow in 30 secs through 200 mm of the capillary tube is mathematically given as

$Qo=1.6 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~mL}$

<h3>What is the water outflow in 30 secs through 200 mm of the capillary tube?</h3>

$\begin{aligned}\Delta P &=6660 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \\\mu &=8.01 \times 10^{-4} \text { Pas } \\t &=30 \mathrm{~s} \\L &=200 \mathrm{~mm}=200 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \\D &=1.5 \mathrm{~mm}=1.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \Rightarrow \gamma=\frac{1.5 \times 10^{-3}}{2} \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$
