I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth. Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.

HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.

<span>Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.</span>

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.
