    Solve Elevator Problem with Weight & Acceleration on Moon

    Homework Statement The effect of gravity is approximately 1/6 of what it is on Earth. If one were to build an elevator on the moon, (a) what would be the apparent weight of a 65kg astronaut when the elevator accelerates upward at 5 m/s2? (b) What is the acceleration of the elevator if the...

    Solve Forces & Inclines Homework: Find Coefficient of Friction

    Cool, because I did try it that way and i got μ = 1.16 and I thought I was wrong so I concluded with adding a random sinӨ lol.

    Finding the mass of our Galaxy and the number of stars in it.

    Turns out I am right. What I did was first convert 200,000,000 years to seconds which gave me 6.3072x10^15 seconds/revolution around the center of the galaxy. Then I plugged the given items into the formula (4pi^2r^3)/(GxT^2), where "r" stands for radius (2.85x10^20), "G" standing for the...

    Finding the mass of our Galaxy and the number of stars in it.

    Homework Statement The sun rotates around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at a distance of about 30,000 light-years from the center (1 light year=9.5x10^15 meters). If it takes about 200 million years to make one rotation, estimate the mass of our Galaxy. Assume that the mass distribution...
