The acceleration due to gravity is lower on the Moon than on Earth. Which one of the following statements is true about the mass
and weight of an astronaut on the Moon's surface, compared to Earth? The acceleration due to gravity is lower on the Moon than on Earth. Which one of the following statements is true about the mass and weight of an astronaut on the Moon's surface, compared to Earth? Both mass and weight are less. Mass is less, weight is the same. Both mass and weight are the same. Mass is the same, weight is less.
where m is the mass of the astronaut which is constant and W is the weight. As g (the acceleration due to gravity) is a variable which it is directly proportional to the W, if g is lower on the Moon than on Earth, then W is lower on the Moon than on Earth.
Friction causes kinetic energy to be converted into 'thermal energy'. The answer to this question is 'thermal energy'. An example would be if something is being rubbed against another object, there is friction and thermal energy will be produced. I hope this helps you on your assignment! You're welcome.
