Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?

Physics
1 answer:
Lisa [10]3 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.

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.00 m, mass= 100
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

0.5 rad / s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the disk I₁ = 1/2 MR²

M is mass of the disc and R is radius

Putting the values in the formula

Moment of inertia of the disc  I₁  = 1/2 x 100 x 2 x 2

= 200 kgm²

Moment of inertia of man about the axis of rotation of disc

mass x( distance from axis )²

I₂  = 40 x 1.25²

= 62.5 kgm²

Let ω₁ and ω₂ be the angular speed of disc and man about the axis

ω₂ = tangential speed / radius of circular path

= 2 /1.25 rad / s

= 1.6 rad /s

ω₁ = ?

Applying conservation of angular moment ( no external torque is acting on the disc )

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

200 X ω₁ = 62.5 X 1.6

ω₁ =  0.5 rad / s

N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches the bottom s
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

it is safe to stand at the end of the table

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition

         Στ = 0

         W x₁ - w x₂ - w_table x₃ = 0

         M x₁ - m x₂ - m_table x₃ = 0

where the mass of the large rock is M = 380 kg and its distance to the pivot point x₁ = 850 cm = 0.85m

the mass of the man is 62 kg and the distance

            x₂ = 4.5 - 0.85

            x₂ = 3.65 m

the mass of the table (m_table = 22 kg) is at its geometric center

            x_{cm} = L/2 = 2.25 m

            x₃ = 2.25 -0.85

            x₃ = 1.4 m

let's look for the maximum mass of man

            m_{maximum} = \frac{ M x_1 -m_{table} x_3}{ x_2}

let's calculate

             m_{maximum} = \frac{ 380 \ 0.85 - 22 \ 1.4}{3.65}(380 0.85 - 22 1.4) / 3.65

             m_{maximum} = 80 kg

we can see that the maximum mass that the board supports without turning is greater than the mass of man

             m_{maximum}> m

consequently it is safe to stand at the end of the table
