Mass is based on the number of molecules contained in an object and is constant. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a mass and it depends on the local gravitational pull; e.g. object weighs less on Moon than on Earth.

Mass is the amount of matter in a material while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon the mass.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor .

R = Wman - T

A meteoroid is traveling east through the atmosphere at 18. 3 km/s while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s. What is its speed, i

Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$

$AC^2=(18.3)^3+(11.5)^2$

$AC=\sqrt{(18.3)^2+(11.5)^2}$

$AC=21.61\ km/s$

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.
