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 force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2

Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

So,

$Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}$

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

$Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

What statement is true about a spring?

snow_tiger [21]

I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.
