Weight of a person on the earth is given by,

W= mg,

Where, g is the gravitational acceleration of the earth and m is the mass of the person.

Gravitational acceleration of the moon is one-sixth of the earth.

Therefore, the weight of a astronaut who goes to the moon will be one sixth of that on earth. Hence, the astronaut will weight less.

For Part A, Sebastian decided to use the copper cylinder. How would the magnitude of his q and ∆H compare if he were to redo Par
Vitek1552 [10]

The magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial temperature of metals, =  </em>T_m<em />
  • <em>initial temperature of water, = </em>T_i<em> </em>
  • <em>specific heat capacity of copper, </em>C_p<em> = 0.385 J/g.K</em>
  • <em>specific heat capacity of aluminum, </em>C_A = 0.9 J/g.K
  • <em>both metals have equal mass = m</em>

The quantity of heat transferred by each metal is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔt

<em>For</em><em> copper metal</em><em>, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as</em>;

Q_p = (m_wc_w + m_pc_p)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + (T_m - T_i)(m_pc_p)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m_p(T_m - T_i)\\\\m_p = m\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m(T_m - T_i)\\\\let \ (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w )  = Q_i, \ \ \ and \ let \ (T_m- T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_p = Q_i + 0.385m\Delta t

<em>The </em><em>change</em><em> in </em><em>heat </em><em>energy for </em><em>copper metal</em>;

\Delta H = Q_p - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.385m \Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.385 m \Delta t

<em>For </em><em>aluminum metal</em><em>, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as</em>;

Q_A = (m_wc_w + m_Ac_A)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_A = (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w) + (T_m -T_i) (m_Ac_A)\\\\let \ (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w)  = Q_i, \ and \ let (T_m - T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ m_Ac_A\Delta t\\\\m_A = m\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ 0.9m\Delta t

<em>The </em><em>change</em><em> in </em><em>heat </em><em>energy for </em><em>aluminum metal </em><em>;</em>

\Delta H = Q_A - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.9m\Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.9m\Delta t

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.
