Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?

Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

8 N to the Lefr and 4 N to the right find the net force is this balanced
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4N to the left. No it is not balanced.

Explanation:

8 -4 = 4 N of force

Balanced would be if they equaled zero, so 8 to the left and 8 to the right

A 3-kg ball is thrown with a speed of 8 m/s at an unknown angle above the horizontal. The ball attains a maximum height of 2.8 m
Alina [70]

Answer:

13.5 J

Explanation:

mass of ball, m = 3 kg

maximum height, h = 2.8 m

initial speed, u = 8 m/ s

Angle of projection, θ

use the formula of maximum height

H = \frac{u^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}

2.8 = \frac{8^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2\times 9.8}

Sin θ = 0.926

θ = 67.8°

The velocity at maximum height is u Cosθ = 8 Cos 67.8 = 3 m/s

So, kinetic energy at maximum height

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

K = 0.5 x 3 x 3 x 3

K = 13.5 J

The process by which a gas changes to a solid is
ddd [48]

The correct answer to the question is - Deposition i.e the process by which a gas changes to a solid is called deposition.

EXPLANATION:

There are various thermal processes of state or phase change in which matter in one state is converted into matter in another state.

Deposition is the type of thermodynamic process of state or phase change in which a gaseous substance is directly converted into corresponding solid substance without entering into liquid phase.

During this process, the loss of thermal energy from gas is very fast. Hence, the gas directly enters solid phase without undergoing into liquid phase.

This process is just the opposite process of sublimation where a solid is converted into gas directly. That's why this process is also known as desublimation.

For instance, conversion of water vapor into ice.

Explain what will happen if an object has high momentum or low momentum and a force is applied?
Korvikt [17]

-- If the force is applied in the <em>same direction</em> as the object is moving, then the object's momentum in that direction will <em>increase</em>.

-- If the force is applied in the direction <em>OPPOSITE </em>to the way the object is moving, then the object's momentum will <em>decrease</em>.

-- In either case, the CHANGE in the object's momentum will be

(strength of the force) x (length of time the force is applied) .

This quantity is also called "impulse".
