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.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

(a) T = 10 s

(b) f = 0.1 Hz

(c) λ = 32 m

(d) v = 3.2 m/s

(e) Insufficient data

Explanation:

(a)

Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:

T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves

T = 50 s/5

<u>T = 10 s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:

f = frequency = 1/T

f = 1/10 s

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>

<u></u>

(c)

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:

<u>λ = Wavelength = 32 m</u>

<u></u>

(d)

Speed of wave is given by the following formula:

Speed = v = fλ

v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)

v = 3.2 m/s

(e)

Amplitude cannot be found with given data.

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 4.70s and lands 56.0m away (measured along the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

How long does the football need to rise?

4.70/3 = 2.35 s

What height will the football reach?

h = ½(9.81)2.35² = 27.1 m

With what speed does the punter need to kick the football?

vy = g•t = 9.81(2.35) = 23.1 m/s

vx = d/t = 56.0/4.70 = 11.9 m/s

v = √(vx²+vy²) = 26.0 m/s

At what angle (θ), with the horizontal, does the punter need to kick the football?

θ = arctan(vy/vx) = 62.7°

ANSWER THIS FOR 16 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!
Vlad [161]

Answer:

As the ski jumper starts moving downhill, some of his potential energy changes into kinetic energy (KE). Kinetic energy moves him down the slope to the ramp. When the ski jumper takes off from the ramp, some of his kinetic energy is changed back into potential energy as he rises in the air.
