To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newt

on's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms" or "I need to lose some weight." Of course, mass and weight are related; however, they are also very different. Mass, as you recall, is a measure of an object's inertia (ability to resist acceleration). Newton's 2nd law demonstrates the relationship among an object's mass, its acceleration, and the net force acting on it: F net=ma . Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and is independent of the object's location. Weight, in contrast, is defined as the force due to gravity acting on the object. That force depends on the strength of the gravitational field of the planet: W =mg , where W is the weight of an object, m is the mass of that object, and g⃗is the local acceleration due to gravity (in other words, the strength of the gravitational field at the location of the object). Weight, unlike mass, is not an intrinsic property of the object; it is determined by both the object and its location. Which of the following quantities would be acceptable representations of weight? Check all that apply.
A.) 12.0 lb
B.) 0.34 g
C.) 120 kg
D.) 1600 kN
E.) 0.34 m
F.) 411 cm

Answer: A.E.

Explanation: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newton's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms"

Answer: Option D: 1600 kN

Explanation: The concepts of mass and weight are different, the mass is calculated in grams, and the weight is calculated, like a force, in newtons (or other units of force).

So if we are looking for representations of weight, we are looking for representations of force.

Options A, B and C are written in units of mass (lb, g, kg)

Option D, 1600kN is written in newtons, si it has units of force, this is an acceptable representation of weight.

Options E and F are in units of distance (m, cm)

An object of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs from a cord around a light pulley: The length of the cord between the oscillator and the pull
puteri [66]

Answer:

\mu=0.0049Kg/m

Explanation:

When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:

f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}

Where L is the length of the string and v the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of v.

f_6=\frac{6v}{2L}\\(150)=\frac{6v}{2(2)} \\150=\frac{3v}{2} \\3v=150(2)\\ v=\frac{300}{3} \\v=100m/s

The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }

Where \mu is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and T is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:

T=W=mg=(5)(9.81)=49.05N

With the value of the tension and the velocity you can find the mass density:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

v^2=\frac{T}{\mu}\\ \mu=\frac{T}{v^2} =\frac{49.05}{(100)^2} =\frac{49.05}{10000} =0.0049Kg/m

A 55.0-g piece of copper wire is heated, and the temperature of the wire changes from 19.0°C to 86.0°C. The amount of heat absor
Alinara [238K]
The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat make
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear  will be equal to the wavelength  of the sound the bat make.

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}

\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

Which statement correctly describes how thermal energy tends to spontaneously flow?
True [87]
The answer is A. Heat flows from high to low. For example, when you put an ice cube in a hot drink, the heat from the drink goes to the ice cube, and that is why it melts.
