The acceleration due to gravity is lower on the Moon than on Earth. Which one of the following statements is true about the mass

and weight of an astronaut on the Moon's surface, compared to Earth? The acceleration due to gravity is lower on the Moon than on Earth. Which one of the following statements is true about the mass and weight of an astronaut on the Moon's surface, compared to Earth? Both mass and weight are less. Mass is less, weight is the same. Both mass and weight are the same. Mass is the same, weight is less.

Answer:

Mass is the same, weight is less.

Explanation:

We know the following equation

W = mg

where m is the mass of the astronaut which is constant and W is the weight. As g (the acceleration due to gravity) is a variable which it is directly proportional to the W, if g is lower on the Moon than on Earth, then W is lower on the Moon than on Earth.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

En la zona apótica (profundidad inferior a 200 m); todo lo que queda de la luz solar es una luz tenue, opaca, azul-verde, demasiado impotente para siquiera considerar permitir que ocurra la fotosíntesis. Sin embargo, hay comida para tener; basura, trozos de plantas podridas y derroche de criaturas caen desde arriba para cuidar a los seres vivos en la zona apótica.

Las formas de vida a una profundidad inferior a 200 m dependen de los productos químicos que salen de los respiraderos; el procedimiento que utilizan para hacer los alimentos se llama quimiosíntesis en lugar de fotosíntesis.

Is the acceleration due to gravity in projectile motion always negative? please explain
umka21 [38]
Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
