The difference between mass and time is the influence of the earth's gravitational force on objects

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

In general, some people equate mass and weight.

Mass is one of the principal quantities, which is related to the matter in the matter, whereas weight is a force that leads to the center of the earth which is subject to the earth to matter (Earth's gravitational force)

So that the mass does not depend on the location of the object, while the weight can change depending on the position of the object

In international standards, the mass unit is kg while the weight is in units of newton

1 kg itself is the mass of a cylinder made of platinum-iridium

While the standard mass of an atom is determined according to the carbon-12 atomic mass of 12 atomic mass units

1 atomic mass unit comparable to 1.6605402.10-17 kg

Measuring the atomic mass using a mass spectrometer.

The mass itself can be measured by the arm balance while the weight is measured by the spring balance

One equation that can relate mass and force (weight) is

W = m.g

W = weight, N

m = mass, kg

g = gravity acceleration, m / s2

Actually mass and weight are two different things but most people did not understand the difference between them. And they are used synonymously on the earth. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter and weight is the measure of how the force of gravity acts on the mass that is Weight = mass x force of gravity. And they are also directly proportional to each other that is also the reason both terms are used synonymously.

Answer: D)The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut.

Explanation:

The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut. Gravity is a very weak force and varies with mass and the inverse square of distance. The astronaut's distance from Earth and the relative small mass of ISS result in gravitational force near zero.

15 POINTS PLEASE HELP What volume of water must be added to 35mL of 2.6m KCl to reduce its concentration to 1.2m? Please explain

BartSMP [9]

First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.

M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)

Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute. The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change. That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.

Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.

Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!

2. The number of molecules in 1.0 mole of So2 is the same as the number of molecules in:

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1.0 moles of N2

Explanation:

since

1.0 × avogadro's no# = same answer for SO2 and N2

avogadro's no#= 6.02× 10²³

What is 2\5 please let me know what the answer

mariarad [96]

Answer: 0.4

Explanation: The easiest way to do this is to get a denominator of 10. To do this, multiply each number in 2/5 by 2. You will get the fraction 4/10. With the denominator of 10, the answer would be 0.4 by putting the decimal in front of the number.
