<span>Mass is a property that determines how much effort it takes to change somethings velocity. Weight is how much downward force does something exert in a gravitational field which is just the amount of gravity time the mass of an object. We use mass interchangeable with weight because everything on earth experiences the same amount of gravity or close to it, and so something that weighs twice as much as something else also has twice as much mass as that something else. Weight can actually vary for the same mass here on earth the strength of gravity changes from one place to another by small amounts, not enough to ruin your cooking recipe instructions, and weight can change dramatically for something that is falling, the strength of gravity for astronauts in orbit is not much reduced in comparison to here on earth, if there was no gravity they wouldn't go around the earth, they are weightless because they are falling and have enough sideways velocity to keep missing the earth, but their mass has not changed, it still requires effort to get them moving or to stop them.

Energy produced by nuclear fusion and fission
White raven [17]

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

When the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy

Explanation:

The answer that "the entropy will is increases" is correct as:

The water at 90° C i.e at higher temperature is mixed with the water at 10° C i.e the water at the lower temperature.

The water at lower temperature will have molecules with lower energy while the water with higher temperature will have molecules undergoing high thermal collisions. Thereby, when the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy.

Therefore, the answer is correct with respect to the water at lower temperature.

Meanwhile, for the water at higher temperature , the temperature of the system will decrease. Thus, the entropy of the water at higher level will decrease.

Which scientific investigation describes a field study?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

A. A scientist investigates a mouse's growth in nature by watching the animal.

A field study is a raw collection of data, typically in the natural habit of the organism; hence why an experiment taken in a lab isn't a field study.
