Decentralization, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which authority has been passed down to the individual school. Site-based management is an example of decentralization in which individual schools can make their own decisions related to finances and curriculum.
Mass and weight example - the moon. In the below example, we've featured an astronaut on earth and on the moon. The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg where-ever they are. Weight on Earth: 100kg x 9.8m/s2 = 980N. Weight on Moon: 100kg x 1.622 m/s2 = 162.2N.
A. The combined mass of the Earth and moon is calculated through, 5.97 x 10^24 kg (Earth) + 7.34 x 10^22 kg (moon) = 6.0434 x 10^24 kg. Following the proper number of significant figures, the answer would be 6.03 x10^24 kg. B. The answer is obtained by dividing the mass of the moon by the mass of the Earth which will give an answer of, 1.229 x10^-2.
