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.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.

A small, closed chamber of gas is heated. When the gas in the chamber expands,it does 5 J of work on a piston. The gas has an in
Anestetic [448]

Given:

Work done, W = 5 J

Initial energy = 8J

Final energy = 30J

Let's determine if the work done have a positive or nrgative value.

Appy the equation for the first lae of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=Q-W

Where:

U is the change in internal energy

Q is the added heat

W is the work done

To find the work done here, we have:

Rewrite the formula for W

W=Q-\Delta U

Where:

ΔU = 30J - 8J = 22J

Q = 5J

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} W=5J-22J \\  \\ W=-17J \end{gathered}

Therefore, the work done here is -17J.

This means the work done in this scenario has a negative value.

ANSWER:

The work done in this scenario has a negative value
