The mass of a rocket is 2.4 x 10^3 kilograms.
A. Find the mass of the rocket on the moon.
B. Compute for the weight of the rocket of the moon.
A. The mass of the rocket on the moon can be found using the formula:
mass on moon = mass on earth / 6.02 x 10^24 kg (mass of the moon)
mass on moon = (2.4 x 10^3 kg) / (6.02 x 10^24 kg) = 3.98 x 10^-22 kg
B. The weight of the rocket on the moon can be found using the formula:
weight on moon = mass on moon x acceleration due to gravity on moon
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1.62 m/s^2.
weight on moon = (3.98 x 10^-22 kg) x (1.62 m/s^2) = 6.44 x 10^-22 N
Therefore, the weight of the rocket on the moon is approximately 6.44 x 10^-22 newtons.
A. On the moon, the mass of the rocket will still be the same. However, the force of gravity on the moon is only about 1/6th that of Earth. So if you're asking for the weight of the rocket on the moon, keep scrolling to part B!
B. Well, if you really want to compute the weight of the rocket on the moon, you'll have to multiply the mass of the rocket by the force of gravity on the moon. But hey, did you know that if you were on the moon, you could just float around like a feather? It's a perfect opportunity to show off your acrobatic skills and practice your moonwalk! Just don't forget the helmet! Safety first, my friend.
A. To find the mass of the rocket on the moon, we need to divide the mass on Earth by the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.
Mass on the moon = Mass on Earth / 6
Mass on the moon = 2.4 x 10^3 kg / 6
Mass on the moon ≈ 4 x 10^2 kg
Therefore, the mass of the rocket on the moon is approximately 4 x 10^2 kilograms.
B. To compute for the weight of the rocket on the moon, we need to multiply the mass of the rocket on the moon by the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.
Weight on the moon = Mass on the moon x Acceleration due to gravity on the moon
Weight on the moon ≈ (4 x 10^2 kg) x (1.6 m/s^2)
Weight on the moon ≈ 6.4 x 10^2 N
Therefore, the weight of the rocket on the moon is approximately 6.4 x 10^2 Newtons.
To find the mass of the rocket on the moon, we need to account for the difference in gravitational force between the Earth and the moon.
A. The mass of the rocket does not change when it is on the moon. So, the mass of the rocket on the moon will still be 2.4 x 10^3 kilograms.
To compute for the weight of the rocket on the moon, we need to use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to Gravity
B. However, since the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is different from that on Earth, we need to consider this difference.
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth, which is 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 x 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.63 m/s^2.
Now, we can compute for the weight of the rocket on the moon using the formula mentioned above:
Weight on the moon = Mass x Acceleration due to Gravity on the moon
= 2.4 x 10^3 kg x 1.63 m/s^2
= 3.912 x 10^3 Newtons
So, the weight of the rocket on the moon is 3.912 x 10^3 Newtons.
