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

Which explanation BEST supports Newton's second law of motion which states that force = mass x acceleration?
GaryK [48]
The answer is C. F=ma basically says that force is a function of mass multiplied by acceleration. The first two answers don’t make sense because there’s no necessary relationship between mass and acceleration. And for the last two, the higher the mass, the higher the force needed, therefore C is the correct answer.

A pitcher releases a fastball that moves toward home plate.
Vsevolod [243]

The two additional forces that act on the ball as it travels between the pitcher and the home plate are air resistance and gravity.

<h3>What are the forces that affect object in motion;</h3>
  • Air resistance: this is the force that oppose the motion of an object in air due to frictional force
  • Gravity: this is the force due to weight of the object and acts downwards.

The two additional forces that act on the ball as it travels between the pitcher and the home plate include:

  1. Air resistance and
  2. Gravitational force  

<h3>How the forces affect the motion of the ball</h3>
  • Air resistance oppose the motion of the ball as it travels in air.
  • Gravity is the force due to weight of the ball and acts downwards.
