When a lunar module landed on the moon, it used thrusters to slow its descent to the surface. when other spacecraft are returned to earth, they use parachutes to slow their descent. why wouldn't a parachute be useful on the moon?

In a system, when potential energy decreases, then entropy also decreases. true false

An owl dives toward the ground with a constant velocity of 4.40 m/s at 53.0° below the horizontal. the sun is directly overhead and casts a shadow of the owl directly below it. what is the speed (in m/s) of its shadow on level ground?

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
