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"
There are
two things that you should remember while dealing with the "Lever Mechanical Advantage" problems:
1) The Effort Arm;
2) The Resistance Arm.
Some books label the Effort Arm as in-lever arm and the Resistance Arm as out-lever arm. (Physics Jargon that you need to remember in order to solve problems)
The Effort Arm is that "part" of the lever where the force can be applied. The Resistance Arm is where some mass is placed. In the diagram, as you can see, the mass is placed on one arm of the lever. Therefore, it is the Resistance Arm.
Now the formula for the "Mechanical Advantage(MA)" is:

Where

is the length of the Effort Arm(the subscript "e" stands for Effort), and

stands for the length of the Resistance Arm(here "r" stands for Resistance).
Plug in the values:

= 15m.

= 7m.
Therefore,

/

= 15/7 =

A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom -->
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy
<span>The initial energy is the energy stored in the muscles of the boy's arm, which is elastic potential energy. This is converted into motion of the rubber, therefore kinetic energy
A child going down a slide on a playground --> </span>Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy
On top of the slide, all the energy of the child is gravitational potential energy due to its height with respect to the ground (E=mgh). when it moves down the slide, this is converted into kinetic energy, because the child acquires a speed v (E=1/2 mv^2)

Rubbing your hands together to warm them on a cold day --> </span>Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy <span>
When rubbing hands, we are moving them (kinetic energy), and this energy raises the temperature of the hand's surface (thermal energy)
Turning on a battery operated light --> </span>
Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy <span>
A battery works by mean of chemical reactions (chemical potential energy), producing light (so, emitting energy by radiation, i.e. radiant energy)
Using a dc electric motor --> </span> Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy<span>
A dc electric motor works using currents (so, electrical energy), and the energy produced can be used for example to accelerate a car (kinetic energy)
Using a gas power heater to warm a room --> </span>Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy
<span>A gas power heater burns gases (so, chemical reaction, i.e. chemical potential energy) to raise the temperature of the room (thermal energy)
Using a hand crank generator to produce electric current --> Kinetic energy transformed into electrical energy
In a hand-crank generator, the handle is being rotated (kinetic energy) in order to produce an electric current (electrical energy)
Using the light in your room that is plugged into the wall --> </span>Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy
<span>The lamp works by using electrical current flowing into a resistor (electrical energy) and it produces light, so it emits energy by electromagnetic radiation (radiant energy)

Answer:
The total mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energies: E = K + U. The law of conservation of total mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy is constant in time.
