If a blue whale weighs 200 tons what would it be on the moon?

Physics

Answer:

if no mistaken then it is 300kN

Explanation:

Using SI units (the default if a system is not specified) 200T = 200000kg as the mass of the whale, it would weigh 1960kN in 1g Earth gravity.

On the Moon, the acceleration is 0.166g, to it would weigh about 330kN.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the mass of a whale is 200 tons on earth, and the moon has a lighter gravity compared to the earth is about 1/6 as powerful,  the whale would weigh 33.33 tons with the last 3 repeating forever. so about 33 and one third ton on the moon.

This is talking about weight, which is how much it would take to lift this object, but the mass is the the same as mass isn't affected by gravity, only weight is affected by gravity.

Hope this helps!

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

You are a guest magician in a circus. One of your tricks is to place a football on an inclined plane without the football rolling over is explained below in details.

Explanation:

spinning ball halts after traveling some range due to friction energy act different direction of movement of the ball. you can observe in the figure.

Let any rolling ball of mass (m ) is traveling with velocity v ,

common effect on ball (N) = mg

because of motion, friction energy develops on the contact exterior and begins to resist the movement of the rolling ball.

hence,

fr = uN = umg act on communicating exterior, so, after any time due to friction energy rolling ball gets to rest.

A wave has a wavelength of 2.30 m and a frequency of 370.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?
son4ous [18]

Given data:

Wave length (λ) = 2.30 m,

Frequency     (f) = 370 Hz (waves/sec),

Determine the speed of the wave = ?

Speed of the wave is defined as "the distance a wave travels in a given time". And it is a product of <em>wavelength (λ) </em>and <em>frequency(f). </em>

An Important point to be remember here is <em>"when increasing the wave length of the wave does not increase the speed of the wave"</em> because the wave speed also depends on frequency (f), So, if the wave length increases wave speed decreases. As a result the product of wave length and frequency are same.

Mathematically,

          Wave speed = wave length × frequency

                                = 2.30 m × 370 waves/sec.

                                = 851 m/s.

<em>Speed of the wave is 851 m/s</em>
