Answer:

A. 8.175 N

B. 49.05 N

Explanation:

A.

Acceleration due to gravity (moon) = 1/6 * (acceleration due to gravity (earth)

Acceleration due to gravity (earth) = 9.81 m/s2

Acceleration due to gravity (moon) = 9.81/6

= 1.635 m/s

Weight. Fm = acceleration due to gravity * mass

= 1.635 * 5

= 8.175 N

B. Acceleration due to gravity (earth) * mass = Fe

= 9.81 * 5

= 49.05 N

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

Murrr4er [49]

The disadvantage will the family most likely face by making this switch is that solar power has a less reliable production of heat.Option A is correct.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Nuclear power bare a form of the thermal power plant. You have a reactor where fission takes place and heat is generated, a heat exchanger that transports this heat to where it is needed.

Thermal power plant equipment converts this heat into electric energy, usually via a steam turbine.

The household will most likely experience a disadvantage from this decision in that solar power produces heat less consistently.

Hence option A is correct,
