On the surface of Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 0.39 times that on the earth. What would a kilogram weigh in newtons on Mars? The answers to Confidence Exercises may be found at the back of the book.
A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00 of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain’s mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
Use a history book, an encyclopedia, or the internet to find out what else was happening in England during Newton’s lifetime and discuss what trends of the time might have contributed to his accomplishments and the rapid acceptance of his work.
Define mass in your own words. Define weight in your own words. Explain what would happen to your mass and weight if you were to go to the Moon. Justify your answer (explain your reasoning). What is the weight of a 50 kg object on Earth? A person weighs 500 N on Earth. What is the person’s mass? Find the person’s weight (from #5) if the person is on the Moon, which has a gravity of 1.63 m/s2. What is the weight of a 2.5 kg Chihuahua on Earth? What is the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth? Which amount of gold would you prefer to have and why? Gold #1 - Has a weight of 10 N on Earth Gold #2 - Has the weight of 4 N on the Moon
A group of engineers has landed on the moon, and they wish to determine the mass of some rocks. Theyhave a spring scale calibrated to read pounds mass at a location where the acceleration of gravity is 32.186 [ft/s2]. One of the moon rocks gives a reading of 18.76 on this scale. What is its mass? What is its weight on the moon? Take gmoon = 5.32 [ft/s2].
Please explain the Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation (how to solve and what the meaning, or you can add important notes too about the topic ) Please own your words because my teacher is using grammarly to check if the work is plagiarized or not. Also the handwriting , please be readable I have blurry eyes so i don't understand cursive. Thank you and God bless!!
Which measurement depends on gravitational force? A) Mass B) Weight C) Height D) All of the above
Match the items about gravity. There are extra answers in your options, so take care in selecting the correct one.
Evaluate how would your mass and weight differ on the Moon? The gravitational force of the Moon is one-sixth the gravitational force on Earth.
Number 11 answer should be (a) gravity (b) 15.7 J You must Answer no. 11, 12, and 15 Thank you in advance. I hope you can answer those questions
