Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on moon, 1.6\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m = 60 kg

Weight of astronaut on the surafce of moon, W = 96 N

The weight of astronaut is given by :

W = m g

g=\dfrac{W}{m}

g=\dfrac{96\ N}{60\ kg}

g=1.6\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.6\ m/s^2

Also, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is (1/6)th of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given: Mass m = 60 Kg

           Weight  W = 96 N

Required: Acceleration due to gravity, g = ?

Formula:  W = mg

                g = W/g

                g = 96 Kg.m/s²/60 Kg   (note: this is the derive unit for Newton "N")

                g = 1.6 m/s²

Identify the row that contains two scalars and one vector quantity: Distance Acceleration Velocity Speed Mass Acceleration Dista
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Speed, mass and acceleration

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.

According to the question, the row that has two scalars and one vector is speed, mass and acceleration.

The two scalars in this row are speed and mass while the vector quantity there is the acceleration.

Acceleration has direction since it possess direction. A body accelerating will do so in a particular direction. Speed and mass doesn't possess any direction. Mass only specify the magnitude of the body but no clue as to which direction is the body moving towards.

Speed also only specify the

total distance covered with respect to time but not the direction of the direction.

The robot arm is elevating and extending simultaneously. At a given instant, θ = 30°, ˙ θ = 10 deg / s = constant θ˙=10 deg/s=co
motikmotik

Explanation:

The position vector r:

\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}

The velocity vector v:

\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}

The acceleration vector a:

\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}

\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}

\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}

A blue puck has a velocity of 3i –4j m/s. Its mass is 20 kg. What is its momentum?
damaskus [11]
P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5
P = 100 kg m/s
