<u>I have assumed a weight of 120 N on Earth.</u>

Answer:

<em>The object weighs 20 N on the moon</em>

Explanation:

Weight

The weight of an object depends on the mass m of the object and the acceleration of gravity g of the place they are in.

The formula to calculate the weight is:

W = m.g

If g_e is the acceleration of gravity on Earth, and g_m is the acceleration of gravity on the moon, we know:

g_m=1/6 g_e

Dividing by ge:

g_m/g_e = 1/6

An object of weight We=120 N on planet Earth has a mass of:

m = 120 / g_e

Multiplying by gm:

m.g_m=120 g_m/g_e

Substituting the ratio of accelerations of gravity:

m.g_m=120 * 1/6

Since m.gm is the weight on the Moon Wm:

W_m=20~N

The object weighs 20 N on the moon

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

g A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the
sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance is  d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the cylinder is  m

    The kinetic frictional force is  f

Generally from the work energy theorem

    E  =  P +  W_f

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2

Here k is the spring constant

        P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

     P  = mgd

And

     W_f  is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

      W_f  =  f *  d

So

    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  mgd +  f *  d

=>    \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d^2 =  d[mg +  f    ]

=>  \frac{1}{2} * k  *  d =  [mg +  f    ]

=> d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]

A roller coaster is stationary at the top of a ramp.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The roller coaster is stationary so the kinetic energy would be zero, but it is at the top of ramp so the potential energy would be high as its gravitational  so it would have to be A
