You would have the largest mass of gold if it weighed 1 N on the Correct answer- Moon A kilogram is a measure of an object's Correct answer- Mass Where is your weight greater: on Earth or on the Moon? How about your mass? Correct answer- Your weight is greater on Earth than on the Moon. Your mass is the same in both locations, or in any location. An object that has twice as much mass as another object also has twice as much Correct answer- inertia measure of how much inertia an object...

Which scientist discovered that the universe is made up of galaxies? Correct answer- Hubble One half second after starting from rest, a freely falling object will have a speed of about Correct answer- a = Vf-Fi / t , 9.8m/s^2 = Vf - 0 / .5s, Vf = 4.9 m/s Which part of the sun is the outermost layer? Correct answer- Corona The slope of a velocity vs time graph tells you the Correct answer- acceleration True or False: The universe is expanding. Correct answer- True Stars that have ___ mass ...

What is the speed of light? Correct answer- Light can travel enormous distances under short periods of time. It is faster than any other phenomenon. It takes about 8 minutes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth. The speed of light in a vacuum is c=3x10^8 m/s. Why is light such an important tool for astronomers? Correct answer- Because light is how we learn about distant objects without travelling there. It is also a measuring took of astronomy. Light is a wave and a particle. How are ...
