Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

Physics

Marat540 [252]3 years ago
5 0
A spring scale measures weight because <span>It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a </span>spring<span> is proportional to the distance that </span>spring<span> is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the </span>scale<span> markings on the </span>spring<span> balance are equally spaced. A </span>spring scale<span> can</span>not measure mass<span>, only </span>weight<span>. hope that helped</span>

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?
pashok25 [27]
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

What is the amount of thermal energy that can be stored in an object depends on?
77julia77 [94]
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in an object. The thermal energy of an object depends on three things: 4 the number of molecules in the object 4 the temperature of the object (average molecular motion) 4 the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).

A wire carrying an electric current is often likened to a pipe carrying water. What part of this analogy is incorrect?
tamaranim1 [39]

In a direct current (DC) electrical circuit, the voltage (V in volts) is an expression of the available energy per unit charge which drives the electric current (I in amperes) around a closed circuit. Increasing the resistance (R in ohms) will proportionately decrease the current which may be driven through the circuit by the voltage.

Each quantity and each operational relationship in a battery-operated DC circuit has a direct analog in the water circuit. The nature of the analogies can help develop an understanding of the quantities in basic electric ciruits. In the water circuit, the pressure P drives the water around the closed loop of pipe at a certain volume flow rate F. If the resistance to flow R is increased, then the volume flow rate decreases proportionately. You may click any component or any relationship to explore the the details of the analogy with a DC electric circuit.
