A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.

Would an anamometer work on the moon?

No. The moon has a lack of atmosphere, therefore there is no wind to measure other than the solar wind. I doubt this would register on a standard style anemometer


Would a spring scale work on other planets?

Yes, a spring scale would work on other planets because it measures gravitational force by stretching a spring. The reading on the scale may vary depending on the strength of gravity on that particular planet.


Would a portable heater on the moon work?

No, a portable heater designed for use on Earth would not work on the moon as there is no atmosphere on the moon to trap heat like there is on Earth. Additionally, the extreme temperature variations on the moon, ranging from hot during the day to cold at night, would pose a challenge for a portable heater to function effectively. Specialized equipment would be needed for heating purposes on the moon.


Would a solar powered device work on the moon?

Yes, a solar-powered device would work on the Moon since it receives sunlight. However, the device may need to be designed to withstand extreme temperature variations that occur on the Moon. Additionally, the efficiency of solar panels would be affected by the Moon's lower sunlight intensity compared to Earth.


Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?

No, a parachute would not work on a lander descending to the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to create the needed drag for the parachute to slow down the descent. Other methods such as retro-rockets or thrusters are used for landing on the Moon.

Would a balance work properly on the moon?

Yes, your balance would not be affected on the moon.


Would a spring work the same on the moon?

Yes


Why or why not would a balance work correctly on the moon?

It would work properly, although it would be very inaccurate. No matter how much gravity there is, an object's mass stays the same. A balance takes the weight of an object on the surface of Earth and, with the counterweights, balances it out with an approximate mass. If you wanted a balance to work on the moon, you would need to relabel the balance.


How does the spring balance work?

The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring


How does a spring balance work?

to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading. OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.


Would a flashlight work on moon?

yes


Would work in process for deposits have a credit balance or debit balance?

Work in Process is considered an asset because it is inventory. Assets have a debit normal balance. adding materials to work in process is a debit to work in process.


What is an equinoctial spring tide?

When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon. When the moon's gravitational force and the sun's gravitational forces are parallell the spring tide, or the maximum difference between high and low tides. When the gravitational forces are perpendicular to each other the least difference between the tides are experienced. That condition is called "neap tide.
