Mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured by kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force extorted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on earth, moon, etc.

Un móvil, que sale desde un punto situado 3 metros a la izquierda del origen y lleva un movimiento uniforme, se sitúa a 12 metro
Verdich [7]

Answer:

x₁ = 15 m, x₂ = 12 m , x_total = 27m, v₁ = 5 m / s ,  v₂ = - 3 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the kinematics of uniform motion

        v = d / t

let's apply this equation for the first move

        v₁ = Δx / t = (x₂-x₀) / t

        v₁ = (12- (-3)) / 3

        v₁ = 5 m / s

the distance traveled is x₁ = 15 m

Now let's analyze the return movement

        v₂ = Δx / dt

        v₂ = (0 - 12) / 4

        v₂ = - 3 m / s

The negative sign indicates that the vehicle is moving to the left

the distance traveled is x₂ = 12 m

The total dystonia is

     x_total = x₁ + x₂

     x_total = 15 +12

     x_total = 27m

In the attached we have the graphics of the movement

What is the outcome of a star that runs out of hydrogen
givi [52]
<h2>Answer: The nucleus becomes entirely helium.</h2>

To shine, the stars transform their hydrogen into helium by means of <u>nuclear fusion</u>. When at half of its life a star is without hydrogen, the nucleus becomes entirely helium and <u>the star declines, becoming colder and brighter due to the energy generated by the nuclear reactions, then the star begins to contract. </u>

Nevertheless, if the star is bigger, this helium will be also consumed and the nucleus transformed in Carbon, then in Oxigen, and so on. Being the last transformation Iron until the star delivers all its energy.

Note this process will depend on how massive the star is.

Consider the specific example of a positive charge q moving in the +x direction with the local magnetic field in the +y directio
Leto [7]

Answer:

Therefore the direction is in the <u>positive direction of the z axes</u>.

Explanation:

Let's recall that the magnetic force is given by:

F_{B}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})

The unit vector of V is \hat{i} and the unit vector of B is \hat{j}

So, the direction of the force will be defined as the cross product of i and j, and using the right hand rule:

\hat{i} \times \hat{j} = \hat{z}

Therefore the direction of the magnetic force is in the <u>positive direction of the z axes</u>.

I hope it helps you!
