Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material, while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass. The amount of matter in a material is a characteristic of a given object. But, the force of gravity that acts upon the object's mass depends of where the object is placed. For example, placed on Earth, some force is corroborated, but on the Moon, the force of gravity would be different because Moon has a different acceleration of gravity.

Weight changes. Mass should remain the same. Weight is the effect of mass in a gravity field, so on Earth, you'll with 180 pounds, but on the moon, only 30 - while your mass remains the same in both places.

Explain how the meanings of the terms biotic factor and abiotic factor differ ?

Stells [14]

Hi There!

Biotic factors are all the living things in an ecosystem, and abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. So, they differ because they both mean opposite things.

If each of the three rotor helicopter blades is 3.50 m long and has a mass of 120 kg , calculate the moment of inertia of the th

devlian [24]

Answer:

1470kgm²

Explanation:

The formula for expressing the moment of inertial is expressed as;

I = 1/3mr²

m is the mass of the body

r is the radius

Since there are three rotor blades, the moment of inertia will be;

I = 3(1/3mr²)

I = mr²

Given

m = 120kg

r = 3.50m

Required

Moment of inertia

Substitute the given values and get I

I = 120(3.50)²

I = 120(12.25)

I = 1470kgm²

Hence the moment of inertial of the three rotor blades about the axis of rotation is 1470kgm²

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

(b) m1 = 915kg;

m2 = 605kg;

m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

$F_{pull}=m_{T}.a$

$m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}$

$m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}$

$m_{T}=2384.5$

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

For $m_{1}$ :

The only force acting On the $m_{1}$ box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

$m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}$

$m_{1}$ = 915kg

For $m_{2}$ :

There are two forces acting on $m_{2}$ : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

$m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{2} = \frac{2304-1387}{1.516}$

$m_{2}$ = 605kg

For $m_{3}$ :

$m_{3} = m_{T} - (m_{1}+m_{2})$

$m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0$

$m_{3}$ = 864.5kg

1. What happens to an atom when it gains electrons? *

Deffense [45]

Answer: An atom that gains or loses an electron becomes an ion. If it gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion
