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.

Describe the full water cycle

sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

Which of the following is an example of work being done on an object?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

d. All of these

Explanation:

work is said to be done when a force is applied to an object through a certain distance. the SI unit of workdone is joules or newton per meter

mathematically

workdone = force x distance.

from the answers, work is being done because there is force applied in a certain distance.

from wagon is used to carry vegetables from a garden.
pulley is used to get water from a well.
hammer is used to remove a nail from a wall.

Maya uses a tuning fork of frequency 250 Hz to produce transverese waves on a stretched string. Her friend justin measure the di

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the wave is 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

he frequency of the tuning fork, f = 250 Hz

The distance between successive crests of the wave formed, λ = 5 cm = 0.05 m

The velocity of a wave, v = f × λ

Where;

f = The frequency of the wave

λ = The wavelength of the wave - The distance between crests =

Substituting the known values gives;

v = 250 Hz × 0.05 m = 12.5 m/s

The velocity of the wave, v = 12.5 m/s.
