The 1kg ball would exert the smallest force.

As force = mass x gravity, this means that the smaller the mass (kg), the lesser the force.

When the mass is lighter (1kg):

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 1 x 9.8
Force = 9.8N

Compared to when the mass is heavier (10kg)

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 10 x 9.8
Force = 98N

Where this proves that the lighter the mass, the smaller the force exerted.

A 600 N astronaut travels to an asteroid where the gravitational force is one-hundredth that of Earth. What is the astronaut's w

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A) 6N

Explanation:

the weight of the astronaut on earth can be calculated with the formula

Weight = mass * gravity of earth

Since the gravitational force is one-hundredth of Earth, the formula should be

Weight = mass * (gravity of earth / 100)

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Since you already know the weight, you only need to divide by 100

Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

Weight = 600N / 100

Weight = 6N

- A thin film of oil * (n = 1.45) on a puddle of water, producing different colors. What is the minimum thickness of a place whe

Darya [45]

Answer:

There will be a phase change at the first interface and no phase change at the second interface:

If the film is 1/4 wavelength thick this restriction will hold

The wavelength of the light in oil is 545 nm / 1.45 = 376 nm

376 nm / 4 = 94 nm

When you step into a very full bath or hot tub, sometimes the water overflows. But when you step into a lake and swim, you don't

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

This all simply due to the size of the two water bodies question and the your body size in a bath tub the water is small enough to allow the upthrust displace water out if the tub whereas in a lake the water is bigger and your body size is smaller to allow any noticeable upthrust that would cause an overflow

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$
