Answer:

The mass of the boulder remains constant, while its weight decreases with respect to the value of gravitational force on the moon.

Explanation:

The mass of the boulder = 15 kg

On the earth, its mass remains 15 kg. But its weight is;

weight = m x g

           = 15 x 9.8

           = 147 N

The boulder's weight on the earth is 147 N.

When transferred to the moon, the mass remains constant i.e 15 kg. But its weight decreases due to a change in the value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon. Thus, the boulder becomes lighter in weight.

An air mass that originates over land in Canada is most likely
liberstina [14]

The air mass that originates over land in Canada is most likely to be cold and dry

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The air masses overland from a continent is usually Dry. The air masses are formed by the uneven warming and cooling of the surface of the earth by the sun gives rise to air masses.
  • Canada is affected by the five air masses they are Continental Arctic, Maritime Arctic, Maritime polar, Maritime tropical, and Continental Tropic.
  • As Canada is most likely affected by the Continental Arctic the air masses are cold and dry.
