Suppose an astronaut were to visit a planet where the force of gravity is half that of Earth. His mass on that planet would be:

"Mass" is what YOU ARE. It doesn't matter whether you're on Earth, on the moon, on an asteroid, on a meteoroid, on the sun, swimming in chicken soup on Saturn, or in a space capsule falling from one solar system body to another one. Your mass DOESN'T change.

Whatever mass the astronaut had after he ate that steak dinner just before he was launched, THAT's the mass he has while he's on the way to another planet, and THAT's the same mass he'll have when he gets there. It makes no difference what the gravity is like on the other planet. His mass will not change. (choice-B)

Only his WEIGHT changes when he's in different places.

2) Lens

3) Concave- curves inwards. Diverges light

b.Convex- curves outward. Converges light

4) The image is real if the distance of the object from the lens is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length

5) Lens and, for convex lenses, on the distance between the lens and the object.

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.

What happens if we nuke a city?

nignag [31]

The shadow would subsequently drop the temperature in the city, forcing warmer air to rush in and violently destroy countless buildings. There would also be “black rain,” which would be the radioactive ash and dust that would liquify and pour down on the city and we would all die.
