What is the difference between weight and mass?

Physics

kogti [31]3 years ago

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.

What is your weight on Venus, assuming that the acceleration due to gravity on Venus is 8.875 m/s^2 and your mass is 50 kg.
Volgvan

Answer:

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

So we have

       Weight =  Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

        W = mg

        Mass, m = 50 kg

        Acceleration due to gravity, g = 8.875 m/s²

        W = 50 x 8.875 = 443.75 N

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

A 60-watt light bulb has a voltage of 120 bolts applied across it and a current of 0.5 amperes flows through the bulb. What is t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

240 ohms

Explanation:

From Ohms law we deduce that V=IR and making R the subject of the formula then R=V/I where R is resistance, I is current and V is coltage across. Substituting 120 V for V and 0.5 A for A then

R=120/0.5=240 Ohms

Alternatively, resistance is equal to voltage squared divided by watts hence \frac {120^{2}}{60}=240

How often must you check the temperature of food that is being held with temperature control?.
loris [4]

You need to check the temperature of food being stored in a temperature-controlled environment every four hours. The process of changing a space's temperature is called temperature control.

Cooking food alone may not be enough to avoid food poisoning, though, if the bacteria in food are allowed to grow to large numbers. When the temperature is between 5°C and 63°C, bacteria can grow. The risk zone is the range between 5°C and 63°C.

Temperature control is a process where the passage of heat energy into or out of a space or substance is adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. This process involves measuring or otherwise detecting changes in the temperature of the space (and all of the objects contained therein) or of the substance.

Describe how elements are formed?<br>​
kenny6666 [7]
Elements are identified by the nuclei of the atoms of which they are made. For example, an atom having six protons in its nucleus is carbon, and one having 26 protons is iron. ... Heavy elements can be formed from light ones by nuclear fusion reactions; these are nuclear reactions in which atomic nuclei merge together. This is how they are formed

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.
elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.
