Question

good afternoon. A 1270 kg automobile is pulled by a horizontal tow line with anet force of 881 N. What is the acceleration of the auto? (Neglect friction.) _____________m/s^2 What is the force in newtons acting on a 3.4 kg package ofnails that flls off a roof and is on its way to the ground?___________ N Determine the weight on the moon of a person whose weight onthe Earth is 177lb._________lb What would be your weight on the moon.__________lb good afternoon.

Explanation / Answer

a) F = ma 881 = 1270a a = 0.6937 m/s^2 b) it is in the air so the only force is the force of gravity Fg= mg = 3.4(9.8) = 33.32 N c) acceleration due to gravity on the moon = 1.6m/s^2 w =mg 177 = m(9.8) m = 18.06 kg weight on moon = mg = (18.06)(1.6) = 28.898lbs d) I sort of need your weight to solve this. If you are x lb then w =mg x = m(9.8) m = x/9.8 kg weight on moon = mg = (x/9.8)(1.6) = (0.1633x) lbs on themoon so just plug in x and you get your weight on the moon. Hopefully this helps!
