<span>Differences in density cause energy to be transferred by the process of convection. Convection is the transfer of heat from a hotter spot to a cooler spot. Convection can only happen in liquids or gases, as it involves the physical movement of either substance.</span>

An object placed on an equal-arm balance requires 12 kg to balance it. when placed on a spring scale, the scale reads 12 kg. eve
Mkey [24]
<span>equal-arm balance = 12 kg spring scale = 2 kg The equal arm balance measures the mass of an object by using a counter mass on the opposite plate of the balance. The force of gravity affects both the mass being tested and the mass standards being compared against equally. So if the local gravitational field changes, those changes affect both the tested mass and the standard masses equally. Contrast that to the spring scale. In that scale, the spring provides a calibrated level of force irrespective of the local gravitational field. So if the local gravity is higher, the force indicated also is higher. And if the gravitational field is lower, the indicated force is also lower. The strength of the spring DOES NOT CHANGE with changes in the local gravitational field.</span>

The table below shows the acceleration of gravity on different bodies in the solar system.
levacccp [35]

Do you remember the formula for potential energy ?

PE = (mass) (gravity) (height)

If the mass and the height are always the same, then the least PE comes from the least gravity. Surely you can find THAT in the table.

You have two springs that are identical except that spring 1 is stiffer than spring 2, (k1 &gt; k2). On which spring is more wor
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two springs with spring constant k_1 and k_2

(a)If they are stretched using the same force

Force F=k_1x_1=k_2x_2

where x_1 and x_2 are the extension in the spring

so \frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{x_2}{x_1}

therefore x_2 > x_1

Work done is given by

W=F\cdot x

W_1=F\cdot x_1

W_2=F\cdot x_2

thus W_2 > W_1

(b)If they are stretched the same distance

\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{k_1}{k_2}

Thus F_1 > F_2

For same extension, work done by Force 1 is more

W_1 > W_2

Why does a compass work differently on a moon then it would on earth
pogonyaev

A compass would work differently on the moon than the Earth because Earth's magnetic field is between 25,000 and 65,000 NanoTeslas. Whereas, the Moons magnetic field is about 2,500-6,500 and some parts of the moon have nonexistent magnetic fields.
