A 10.0 kilogram mass of iron on earth exerts a downward force of 98 Newtons. On the moon this same 10.0 kilograms of iron is weighed and found to exert a downward force 16.3 Newtons. How is this possible ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The weight of an object is the force it experience by the gravitational pull of the planet. The gravitational pull by earth is greater than that from moon. This leads to greater weight in earth than in moon.

What is gravitational force ?

Gravitational force is a kind of force by which an object attracts other objects into its center of mass. The force exerted between the objects depends on the mass and distance between them.

Earth exerts a gravitational pull to every objects on its surface and that's why we are standing on the ground. We experience a weight downwards due to this force.

The acceleration due to gravity  in earth = 9.8 m/s²

g in moon = 1.63m/s².

then weight = m g

the weight of a 10 kg iron bar in earth is 98 N and that in moon will be 16.3 N.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The decrease in the downward force that a mass of iron can exert on the moon versus the force it exerts on earth is due to:

  • The force of gravity on Earth is greater than the force of gravity on the moon.

Explanation:

To recognize the calculation within the statement, you must know that the Newton unit is equal to:

  • Newton = (Kilogram * meter) / second ^ 2

And that the gravities of the Earth and the Moon are:

  • Earth gravity = 9.807 m / s ^ 2
  • Moon gravity = 1.63 m / s ^ 2

Finally, you must know the force formula (since we are talking about a descending force):

  • Force = mass * acceleration (gravity is a measure of acceleration)

Since the mass in both cases is the same (10 kilograms), the variation in acceleration will provide different values of descending force, as shown below, replacing the values:

  1. Downward force on Earth = 10 Kg * 9,807 m / s ^ 2 = 98.07 Kg * m / s ^ 2 = 98.07 Newtons.
  2. Downward force on the Moon = 10 Kg * 1.63 m / s ^ 2 = 16.3 Kg * m / s ^ 2 = 16.3 Newtons.

As you can see, when it comes to force, the less acceleration (in this case less gravity), the lower the downward force will be with a mass of equal weight.

. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 113 m słatan angle of 60.0degrees above the horizontal from the top of a cliff 49.0 m high.
Calculate:
(a) the time to reach maximum height
(b) the maximum height above the base of the cliff reached by the
projectile
(c) thetotal time it is in the air
(d) the horizontal range of the projectile.​

Answers

Answer:

a) 9.99 s

b) 538 m

c) 20.5 s

d) 1160 m

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

y₀ = 49.0 m

v₀ = 113 m/s

θ = 60.0°

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

a) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find t.

vᵧ = aᵧ t + v₀ᵧ

(0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (113 sin 60.0° m/s)

t ≈ 9.99 s

b) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find y.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2aᵧ (y − y₀)

(0 m/s)² = (113 sin 60° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 49.0 m)

y ≈ 538 m

c) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find t.

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (49.0 m) + (113 sin 60° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

You'll need to solve using quadratic formula:

t ≈ -0.489, 20.5

Since negative time doesn't apply here, t ≈ 20.5 s.

d) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find x. (Use answer from part c).

x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

x = (0 m) + (113 cos 60° m/s) (20.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20.5 s)²

x ≈ 1160 m

Usually, the hull of a ship contains a large volume of air. Why?

Lots of points:)

Answers

The shape of the ships hull causes the ship to displace (get rid of or remove from one place to another) a greater volume of water then a solid piece of steel (or metal whichever the ship is made of) with the same mass. A ship displaces a volume of water equal in weight to the submerged portion of the ship, ok.
in other words The air reduces the ships overall density so it can float!
hope this helps!
