Explain the difference between mass and weight. Why is your weight on the Moon one-sixth that on Earth?

Chemistry

Trava [24]1 year ago

The weight on moon is  (1/6)^t^h of the weight at earth because the value of g reduces to  (1/6)^t^h on moon.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and Weight is the amount of force that gravity exerts on an object.

What is the relation between mass and weight?

  • The main difference between mass and weight is: Mass is a scientific measure of the amount of matter an object is made of. Regardless of where you are at any given moment, the mass is constant.
  • However, weight is actually a description of gravity on an object.
  • The relation between mass (m) and weight (W) is W = m * g.      Thus, weight is defined as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration (g)
  • As weight depends on the value of gravitational acceleration, it changes as the value of g changes.
  • Now, the value of g at moon is (1/6)^t^h of the value of g at earth, that means the weight on moon is  (1/6)^t^h of the weight on earth.

¿El agua salada es una mezcla homogénea o heterogénea?
Sedbober [7]

The question is in another language, so the English translation of the question is as follows:

Is salt-water a hom.ogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

Answer:

Hom.ogenous mixture

Explanation:

There are two types of mixtures hom.ogenous and hetergenous.  a heterogeneous mixture has two or more visible phases while a hom.ogeneous mixture is composed of a single visible phase.

The salt-water is hom.ogeneous because the solve dissolve evenly in throughout the entire salt-water sample and gives visible phase.

Hence, the correct option is "hom.ogenous mixture".
