What is the difference between weight and mass?

2 answers:

7 0

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.

Answer: m∠P ≈ 46,42°

because using the law of sines in ΔPQR

=> sin 75°/ 4 = sin P/3

so ur friend is wrong due to confusion between edges

+) we have: sin 75°/4 = sin P/3

=> sin P = sin 75°/4 . 3 = (3√6 + 3√2)/16

=> m∠P ≈ 46,42°

Kelli weighs 425 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.36 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

$E_i = E_f$

so:

$wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2$

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

$(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2$

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo

Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$

What combines to form bonds in compounds?

Mila [183]

A chemical compound consists of 2 or more chemical elements. They can be separated into simpler substances. Atoms of elements can be combined to form compounds. Molecules are groups of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Minerals are chemical compound that can be found in nature. Valence is a measure of the combining power of an element.Answer: A. Atoms of elements.
