If a man weight 155 lb on earth, specify

1 answer:

3 0

For the answer to the question above, on Earth, a one-pound object has a mass of about 0.453592 kilograms.

Therefore the man's mass is 155 * 0.453592 = 70.30676 kilograms. 

The part about the Moon's gravity is irrelevant. While the weight of a person or object would be different on the Moon, the mass would be the same.

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?

Dominik [7]

The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

Let s = rate of rotation
Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km 
Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. 
People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.
