8. The weight of a body of mass 6.0 kg on moon is
10 N. If a boy of mass 30 kg goes from earth to
the moon surface, what will be his (a) mass,
(b) weight?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Total distance covered(s) = Distance during acceleration(s  

1

​  

) +  distance during uniform motion(s  

2

​  

) + distance during retardation(s  

3

​  

)

For acceleration,

v=u+a∗t

v  

max

​  

=2×10=20 m/s

s=ut+(1/2)at  

2

 

s  

1

​  

=(1/2)×2×10  

2

 

    =100 m

For uniform motion,

s=vt

s  

2

​  

=20×200

    =4000 m

During retardation,

v=u+at

0=20+50t

  =−0.4 m/s  

2

 

s  

3

​  

=ut+(1/2)at  

2

 

    =20×50+(1/2)×(−0.4)×50  

2

 

    =500 m

Total distance travelled, s=s1+s2+s3=100+4000+500=4600 m

Total time taken, t=t

​  

+t

​  

+t

​  

=260 s

Average velocity, v

                                     =4600/260=17.69 m/s
