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

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
$F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N$
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
$F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N$
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
$\tan \alpha = \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7$
from which we find
$\alpha=35^{\circ}$

At a certain instant, the speedometer of the car indicates 80 km/h.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

It tells the speed of car. At this time the speed of car is 80km/h , means if the car runs constantly at this speed then it will cover 80 kilometres in 1 hour.

How many atoms are in a sample of 2.39 moles of neon (Ne) atoms?

Reil [10]

Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

2.39 moles Ne ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.44 × 10^24 atoms Ne

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

Distance traveled = 221miles
Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.
