Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

                                                         

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

scZoUnD [109]
The correct option is (B) <span>Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is </span>shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.<span>
