Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

A spring scale measures weight because It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced. A spring scale cannot measure mass, only weight. hope that helped

A 1200-kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 0.0001-kilogram insect. As a result, the insect is accelerated at a rate of 100 m

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

force = 1 × $10^{-2}$ N

Explanation:

given data

automobile mass = 1200 kg

insect mass = 0.0001 kg

insect accelerated = 100 m/s²

to find out

magnitude of the force the insect exerts on the car

solution

we get here force the insect exerts that is express as

force = mass × acceleration ............1

put here value we get

force = 0.0001 × 100 m/s²

force = 1 × $10^{-2}$ N
