Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

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>

A 400.0 ohm resistor has a potential difference of 20.0 volts. What is the magnitude of the power dissipated by the resistor
Sergio [31]

P=IV, where P is power, I is resistance, and V is voltage.  Plug in and solve:

P=400(20)

P=8000W

Hope this helps!!

Which describes refraction? *
sergey [27]

Answer:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium.

Explanation:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium. is only true for refraction.

The angle of incidence is the same for angle of refraction, is not true for refraction. Refraction follows Snell's law, states that ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction and the sine of the angle of incidence is always constant and equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities of the two mediums it is passing through.

Refracted rays change direction and go back to the original medium is false for refraction however, it is true for reflection.

A block of aluminum with a volume of 10 cm3 is placed in a beaker of water filled to the brim. Water overflows. The same is done
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) Both blocks displace the same amount of water.

Explanation:

Specific gravity (S.G.) is a quantity that tells how much and object is submerged on water and is given by:

S.G=\frac{\rho_{block}}{\rho_{fluid}}

with ρ the densities

Density of water is 997 \frac{kg}{m^{3}} and density of aluminum is 2712 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}

So:

S.G=\frac{2712}{997}=2.72

A S.G. value bigger than one means the object is totally submerged so the water displaced is equal to the volume of the cube.

For the lead (density = 11340\frac{kg}{m^{3}}) block we're going to calculate specific gravity in this case:

S.G=\frac{11340}{997}=11.37

Again S.G gravity is bigger than 1, so the lead block is totally submerged too, that implies the volume of water displaced is the volume of the block, that is the same volume as the aluminum block, so a is the correct one.

Two identical projectiles were projected at 200 km/h the first one is at an angle 60 to the horizontal while the second one is a
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The angle that will have the most range (Goes further) <u>will be the one that is shot with 60 ° with the horizontal. </u>

Since the one that shoots with respect to the vertical, it will only reach higher. And it won't go as far as the horizontal.

Greetings.

Danna.
