Mass is an internal characteristics of a body (or a particle). Under any circumstances it remains the same. 

The value of weight, however, depends on the strength of gravitational force.

You are riding a skateboard and hit a hole in the street, causing you to fly off the board and crash. Which law represents this
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Using unbalanced forces to control the motion of a skateboard demonstrates Newton's first law of motion.

Hope it helps

at 1 p.m. a car traveling at a constant velocity of 78 km per hour towards the West it's 34 km to the west of our school how far
Fittoniya [83]

83 km/h * 2.5 hours (3:30 - 1:00) = 207.5 km  

207.5 km - 15 km = 192.5 km

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.
