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

m : mass of the object

g : gravitational acceleration

It is independent of the horizontal acceleration.

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

Weight is a gauge of how strongly gravity is pulling something down. It is dependent on the object's mass, or how much matter it consists of. It also depends on the object's uniformly distributed 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 measurement of how the force of gravity works upon a mass, mass is the amount of substance in a material.

"how far an object moves"- distance

"In a " - over

"certain amount of time" - time

Distance over time is speed.

The speed of an object is the distance the object travels in one unit of time.

Wood is burning. *

xenn [34]

Answer:

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.
