Weight of an object is given by the formula W = m x g , where

m : mass of the object

g : gravitational acceleration

It is <u>independent of the horizontal </u><u>acceleration</u>.

<h3>What do we mean by weight of an object?</h3>

Weight is a gauge of how strongly gravity is<u> pulling something down.</u> It is dependent on the object's mass, or how much matter it consists of. It also depends on the <u>object's uniformly distributed</u> downward acceleration caused by gravity.

This equation can be used to express weight:

W = m x g

<h3>What is the difference between weight and mass of an object?</h3>

In everyday speech, the phrases "mass" and "weight" are frequently used interchangeably; nevertheless, the two concepts don't have the same meaning. In contrast to weight, which is a <u>measurement of</u> how the <u>force</u> of gravity works upon a mass, mass is the <u>amount of substance</u> in a material.

Answer:

I=0.0361 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of a force

Torque= perpendicular distance r X Force F

Torque T = I(moment of inertia) X α (angular acceleration)

T= Iα

r= 0.0285m

F= 1.9 x 10^3

T=0.0285 x 1.9 x 10^3

T= 54.15Nm

I=T/α

I=54.15/150

I=0.361 kg.m^2

A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When

malfutka [58]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

$F=ma$

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

$F=kx$

Then, you have:

$ma=kx$

by solving for a, you obtain:

$a=\frac{kx}{m}$

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

$a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2
