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"

What are the conditions of the thermonuclear fusion reaction in the sun?

Verizon [17]

High temperature gives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin (approximately six times hotter than the sun's core).

Lucas left a metal bowl and a wooden bowl outside overnight. The next morning, he picked up the bowls to bring them inside. He n

kipiarov [429]

Answer: C. Metal transfers heat away from the skin by conduction, creating the sensation of coolness.

Explanation: The skin releases heat into the metal bowl since there is a difference in temperature between the two objects. So heat is taken away from the hand abd transfers into the metal bowl by conduction creating a cooler sensation.

If sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay, what will I become?

ikadub [295]

It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.
