Answer:

the weight of the astronaut on Earth is 1209.88 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the astronaut, W = 200 N

acceleration due to gravity on moon, g = 1.62 m/s²

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the mass of the astronaut;

F = ma = mg

m = F/g

m = 200 / 1.62

m = 123.457 kg

The weight of the astronaut on Earth is calculated as follows;

F = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

F = 123.457 x 9.8

F = 1209.88 N

Therefore, the weight of the astronaut on Earth is 1209.88 N

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?

lubasha [3.4K]

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}$
so in our problem we have
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}$
and the equivalent resistance is
$R_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega$

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A$
