Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

$w = m\times g$

$m = \frac{w}{g}$

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

$w' = m\times g'$

$w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}$

$w' = \frac{300}{6}$

$w' = 50$

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.

Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct. Based on the information provided, what would be the bond angle in a m

Ugo [173]

Question: Predicting the shape of a molecule is relatively straight forward. A molecule's shape will always be determined by the number of electron pairs around the central atom. The number of electron pair corresponds to the number of atoms that are bound to the central atom of the molecule. For example, water contains two hydrogen atom bound to one atom of oxygen, giving the molecule a linear geometry.

Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct. Based on the information provided, what would be the bond angle in a molecule of perchlorate ion.

Answer: Suppose that the model presented by student 1 is correct The (perchlorate ion) will be a tetrahedral shape, O-Cl-O bond angle 109.5 due to four groups of bonding electrons and no lone pairs of electrons.

The speed of a wave changes depending on the temperature of the medium. What do you think is the reason for this?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Because of the different wave speed from light and sound. Explanation: There is a major difference between the speed wave of light and sound, light travels at 186, 282 miles per second, and sound can travel at different speeds and its significantly slower so it is easier to measure it

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?

Yuki888 [10]

Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: $1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m$
Salt water: $2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m$
Silver: $1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$
Lead: $2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m$
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
