Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?

1 answer:

Lisa [10]2 years ago

6 0

Weight and mass are used synonymously on earth because the value of g is constant on the earth because the weight of a body is the amount of force exerted by the Earths gravity on an object of finite mass. And, the mass of an object gives the amount of matter in the body and is measured in kilograms.

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?

SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}$
