What is the relationship between mass and weight in physics?

1 answer:

7 0

We are aware that weight is the product of applied gravitational force and mass. W = MG thus, where W represents the weight, M the mass, and G the gravitational force. As a result, it might also mean that "an object's weight is directly proportionate to its mass."

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter.
It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force.
The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg).
Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The force exerted on an object by gravity is known as the weight of the object in science and engineering.
Weight is sometimes described as a vector quantity, or the gravitational force exerted on the object, in some common textbooks.
Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the gravitational force's strength.
Others define it as the strength of the force applied to a body as a result of systems designed to resist the effects of gravity; the weight is the amount that is determined, for instance, by a spring scale.

It takes a minimum distance of 76.50 m to stop a car moving at 15.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass

Vinvika [58]

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s is 348.3 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the car </h3>

The acceleration of the car before stopping at the given distance is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

when the car stops, v = 0

0 = u² + 2as

0 = 15² + 2(76.5)a

0 = 225 + 153a

-a = 225/153

a = - 1.47 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled when the speed is 32 m/s</h3>

If the same force is applied, then acceleration is constant.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 32² + 2(-1.47)s

2.94s = 1024

s = 348.3 m

A series circuit has a capacitor of 0.25 × 10⁻⁶ F, a resistor of 5 × 10³ Ω, and an inductor of 1H. The initial charge on the cap

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}$

at t = 0.001 we have

$q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = 0.01

$q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = infinity

$q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C$

Explanation:

As we know that they are in series so the voltage across all three will be sum of all individual voltages

so it is given as

$V_r + V_L + V_c = V_{net}$

now we will have

$iR + L\frac{di}{dt} + \frac{q}{C} = 12 V$

now we have

$1\frac{d^2q}{dt^2} + (5 \times 10^3) \frac{dq}{dt} + \frac{q}{0.25 \times 10^{-6}} = 12$

So we will have

$q = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1 e^{-4000 t} + c_2 e^{-1000 t}$

at t = 0 we have

q = 0

$0 = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1 + c_2$

also we know that

at t = 0 i = 0

$0 = -4000 c_1 - 1000c_2$

$c_2 = -4c_1$

$c_1 = 1 \times 10^{-6}$

$c_2 = -4 \times 10^{-6}$

so we have

$q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}$

at t = 0.001 we have

$q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = 0.01

$q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = infinity

$q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C$

If density of water is 300kg m3 and hight 4m of water find the pressure of water ?<br>

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

11, 760 Pa.

Explanation:

By applying formula P= pgh, where P is pressure, p is density, g is gravitational acceleration (9.8 m\s2) and h is height of water level. Putting values in the formula, you can have the correct answer.
