What is the difference between mass and weight

Physics
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]4 years ago
5 0
Mass is a property of an object.  It doesn't change, no matter where the object is.

Weight is the gravitational force between two objects.  It depends on the masses
of both objects, and also on the distance between their centers, so it changes,
depending on the mass of the OTHER object involved, and on the distance
between them.

A flat, 181 ‑turn, current‑carrying loop is immersed in a uniform magnetic field. The area of the loop is 4.97 cm2 and the angle
Sidana [21]

Answer:

B = 0.135T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field you use the following formula, for the torque produced by a magnetic field B in a loop:

\tau=NIABsin\theta   (1)

τ: torque = 1.51*10^-5 Nm

I: current = 2.47mA = 2.47*10^-3 A

B: magnitude of the magnetic field

A: area of the loop = 4.97cm^2 = 4.97(10^-2m)^2=4.97*10^-4m^2

N: turns = 181

θ: angle between B and the magnetic dipole (same as the direction  of the normal to the plane)

You replace the values of the parameters in (1). Furthermore you do B the subject of the formula:

B=\frac{\tau}{NIAsin\tetha}=\frac{1.51*10^{-5}Nm}{(181)(2.47*10^{-3}A)(4.97*10^{-4}m^2)(sin30.1\°)}=0.135T

What causes the earth to rotate
Alex73 [517]
The Earth rotates due to the manner in which it was formed. Earth began its rotation from the spinning movement of the accretion disk. In short, the earth rotates because of angular momentum caused by the accretion disk.

Two blocks are initially at rest with a compressed spring between them. When the spring is released, the 2m block moves to the l
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>


In an <u>inelastic collision</u> the kinetic energy is not conserved, but <u>the total momentum of the system is conserved</u>.



In other words; the Initial momentum P_{i} is equal to the Final Momentum P_{f}:



P_{i}=P_{f}



Then:


<h2>P_{i}-P_{f}=0 </h2>

This means that after the collision the kinetic energy is transformed (dissipated) into another type of energy (caloric energy, for example); and there may be deformation in the blocks.



Therefore, the sentence that best describes this situation is:



<h2>The total momentum is zero.  </h2>
