Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?

1 answer:

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.

What is the current in a series circuit that has two resistors (4.0 ohms and 7.5 ohms) and a power source of 9.0 volts?

Olin [163]

-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.

The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances. That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.

So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.

-- The current in the circuit is

   (the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)

   = (9.0 volts) / (11.5 ohms)

   = 0.783... Ampere (rounded)

Câu 1. Con lắc lò xo treo thẳng đứng, dao động điều hòa với biên độ 2cm và tần số góc 20 rad/s. Chiều dài tự nhiên của lò xo là

natka813 [3]

Answer:

28 cm and 32 cm

Explanation:

1. The spring pendulum hangs vertically, oscillates harmonic with amplitude 2cm and angular frequency 20 rad/s. The natural length of

a spring is 30cm. What is the minimum and maximum length of the spring during the oscillation? Take g = 10m/s2.

As the amplitude is 2 cm and the natural length is 30 cm. So, it oscillates between 30 -2 = 28 cm to 30 + 2 = 32 cm.

So, the minimum length is 28 cm and the maximum length is 32 cm.

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit

Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V= 30 m/s ( + x direction )

d) λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

$y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)$

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x λ

λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

$U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

$U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s$

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

What is the mass of an object that is accelerated at 25 m/s2 by a force of 135 N?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 5.4 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{135}{25} = \frac{27}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as
