Why is an object’s mass, rather than its weight, used to indicate the amount of matter it contains?.

Physics
1 answer:
saul85 [17]1 year ago
5 0

An object's mass, rather than its weight is used to indicate the amount of matter it contains because weight is defined as the amount of force due to an existing field (In most cases, gravitational field) that is experienced by the body. The weight of the same body can be different in different environments it's observed.

However, the mass of the body is the exact measure of the amount of matter contained in a body. Which is constant, regardless of the environment, or conditions the body is observed.

Hence, for real-world calculations and experimentation, the mass of the body is considered to represent the amount of matter it contains rather than its weight.

What is a velocity of an object with a momentum of 300 kg m/s and the mass of 100 kg​
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

P is the momentum

m is the mass

v is the velocity

P = m•v

300 = 100•v Divide both sides per 100

300/100 = v

v = 3 m/s

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts
Reika [66]
Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

What is the resultant of the two vectors shown?
Ksju [112]

Answer

correct answer is C

Head-to-tail method

Here head-to-tail method is employed to determine resultant of vectors.

Let horizontal component be 1 and let vertical component be 2

To add these two vectors. Move vector 2 until its tail touches the head of 1. The tail of resultant of these two vectors touch the tail of vector 1 and head of resultant vector will touch the head of vector 2.
