Question

imagine a spacecraft going from the earth to the moon. How does its weight vary as it going from the earth to the moon? Give correct answer bakwaas nahi chalegi​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer

Explanation:

let the weight be x and distance between earth and moon be s.

since the moon is in the gravitational sphere of the earth, the weight(force of gravity) on the craft will decrease slowly in travelling the distance.

the gravity of the moon is 1/6th than that of the earth. hence the weight on the moon will be x/6.

the variation in weight will be between x and x/6 in the complete path till it reaches the moon.

hope this helps you......

Answer 2

We are aware, that: W = F = ma,

where 'm' is the mass of an object, and,

'g' is the the constant of the acceleration due to gravity...

Since the mass is a fundamental property of an object,

Hence, the weight vector of an object depends upon only the acceleration due to gravity on the object...

As the acceleration due to gravity decreases from the Earth to the Moon,

So, the weight vector of the object will decrease on going from the Earth to the Moon, and ultimately, become one-sixth of its initial weight...
