Final answer:
The statement about the shuttlecock's weight cannot be determined as true or false without additional context. Weight varies based on gravitational force, which changes in different environments like Earth or the moon, and forces on ramps involve more variables than just height and length. the statement is false (option b)
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems there is a typo or misunderstanding in the question regarding the shuttlecock weighs 1/6th of one. Without context to what 'one' refers to, it is impossible to answer this question as true or false. However, if we consider some information from similar physics-related questions:
- True or False: An object's weight is consistent whether on Earth or the moon. This is false, as weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object, which would be different on the moon due to its lower gravity.
- It is true that a solar sail craft can be propelled by particles within the solar wind.
- When pushing a box up a ramp, the force required is not directly calculated from the height and length of the ramp but involves considering the friction and the angle of the incline, making this statement false.
Hence, the answer is option b
