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.

IF EARTH HAD NO ATMOSPHERE, WOULD A FALLING OBJECT EVER REACH TERMIONAL VELOCITY?
EleoNora [17]
No.  What most people call 'terminal velocity' is the speed of the falling
object when the downward force of gravity is equal to the upward force
of air resistance.  At that speed, the vertical forces on the object are
balanced, so it stops accelerating, and falls at a constant speed.

If there were no atmosphere, there would be no upward force due to
air resistance.  The falling object would continue to accelerate all the
way down until it went 'splat'.

This is exactly the situation for meteoroids or asteroids falling onto the Moon.

Lelechka [254]
The correct answer is
c) Neither person is correct because light does not change frequency when it travels through different media

In fact, light changes both wavelength and speed when it travels through different media, but the frequency remains the same.
