The astronaut's weight is not 60 kg anywhere, because kg is a unit of mass, not weight.

If the astronaut's mass is 60 kg, then his weight is (60 kg)x(acceleration of gravity).

That's 588 Newtons on Earth, and 58.8 Newtons on a planet with 1/10 Earth's gravity.

The astronaut's mass of 60 kg goes with her, and doesn't depend on where she is.

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

1. An object 20 cm away from a lens produces a focused image on a film 15 cm away, what is the focal length
morpeh [17]

8.6 cm

Explanation:

Step 1:

In this we have to find the focal length of converging lens.

To find focal length we have,

(1/u) + (1/v) = (1/f)

where u = Object distance

           v= Image distance

           f = Focal length

Step 2:

(1/f) = (1/20) + (1/15)

(1/f) =  0.116

f = 1/0.116

f = 8.6 cm
