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.<em> (choice-B)</em>

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

Do objects with more mass have more friction
Nikitich [7]
Yes. An object of large mass is pulled down onto a surface with a greater force than an object of low mass and, as a consequence, there is greater friction between the surface of the heavy object than between the surface of the light object.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Sorry I'm late, but here is the answer!

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require the matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

In a complete description of a force vector, which is usually not necessary?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Position

Explanation:

A force vector has both magnitude and direction, which can be represented by a line with an arrow head. The length of the line describes magnitude, while the arrows points in the required direction.

generally, the position of a vector is unimportant when describing the vector. Thus, when a force vector is to be described, it is unnecessary to make reference to its original position. Majorly, its magnitude and direction is considered.

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the
natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is   A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  operating temperature is  T  =  2450 \  K

The emissivity is  e =  0.350

 The  power rating is  P  =  200 \  W

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

      A = \frac{P}{ e *  \sigma  *  T^2}

Where  \sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann constant  with value  

      \sigma  =  5.67 *10^{-8} \  W/m^2\cdot K^4

So

     A =  \frac{200}{0.350 *  5.67*10^{-8} *  2450^{4}}

     A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2
