Let's say an astronaut is walking on the moon and wants to test out some basic kinematics. Because there's no atmosphere, there's no air resistance, so the only thing that can cause an object to move faster on the moon is the moon's gravity. Let's say you have a hammer and a feather, each weighing 10.0 kg and 1.00 kg respectively. When you drop them from a height of 1.65 meters, they should both hit the ground at the same time. The gravity on the moon is around 1/6 of what it is on Earth, so you need to figure out how long it'll take for the hammer to reach the ground.

A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.02 x 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 1.16 × 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s²) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 × 107 kg. (Let us assume that F points to the right. We will consider this to be the +x direction and vertical to be the +y wind direction.) magnitude 17.1 Did you draw a free-body diagram, and identify the forces acting on the flea?

Which of the following statement/s is/are correct regarding the concepts of motion? According to Aristotle, a body that is stationary will continue to be stationary unless a force is applied to it. According to Aristotle, a falling body accelerates because its weight increases as it approaches Earth’s surface. According to Galileo, a body in motion along a frictionless surface does not need an external force to maintain its motion. According to Galileo, objects fall at the same rate even if one object is more massive than the other object. 1 and 2 3 and 4 1,3, and 4 1,2,3 and 4 Which of the following is a correct explanation to one of the consequences of Special Relativity?
