<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 shop-vac is capable of pulling in air at a rate of 210 ft^3/min. what is the rate of the vacuum's air flow in l/s?
Nadya [2.5K]

The correct answer is 99.06 .

Since we know that,

1 ft = 12 inches, (1ft)3 = (12)3inches3

& 1 inch = 2.54 cm ,  (1 inch)3 = (2.54)3cm3

& 1 cm3 = 1ml,

&(1 ml)/1000 = 1L, so (1cm3)/1000 = 1L.

& 1 min. = 60 sec.

Now, 1ft3 = (12)3x(2.54)3/(1000) L

and 1 min = 60 sec

So, 1ft3/min = (12)^3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60) L/s

Hence 210 ft3/min = 210x(12^)3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60).

= 99.06.

6. The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the potential energy of the freely falling object decreases, its kinetic energy increases on account of an increase in its velocity. ... Thus, the law of conservation of energy is not violated.
