What is the relationship between mass and weight in physics?

Alex_Xolod [135]

We are aware that weight is the product of applied gravitational force and mass. W = MG thus, where W represents the weight, M the mass, and G the gravitational force. As a result, it might also mean that "an object's weight is directly proportionate to its mass."

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter.
It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force.
The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg).
Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The force exerted on an object by gravity is known as the weight of the object in science and engineering.
Weight is sometimes described as a vector quantity, or the gravitational force exerted on the object, in some common textbooks.
Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the gravitational force's strength.
Others define it as the strength of the force applied to a body as a result of systems designed to resist the effects of gravity; the weight is the amount that is determined, for instance, by a spring scale.

A horizontal force of 12N is applied to 1.5kg of block which rests on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient friction is 0.3,

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Next, we shall determine the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 1.5 × 10 = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = μR

Fբ = 0.3 × 15

Fբ = 4.5 N

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) = 4.5 N

Net force (Fₙ) =.?

Fₙ = Fₐ – Fբ

Fₙ = 15 – 4.5

Fₙ = 10.5 N

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration produced in the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10.5 N

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Fₙ = ma

10.5 = 1.5 × a

Divide both side by a

a = 10.5 / 1.5

a = 7 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration produced in the block is 7 m/s²

What does density have to do with heat?

joja [24]

If you take a fluid (i.e. air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is<span><span> not heated.</span> </span>

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.

pychu [463]

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

Compare the collision between two baseballs and a catcher's mitt.

Nookie1986 [14]

The applied force is different for the two cases

The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change

The case A involves the greatest force.

<h3>What is collision?</h3>

This is the head-on impact between two object moving in opposite or same direction.

The initial momentum of the two ball is the same.

P = mv

where;

m is the mass of each
v is the initial velocity of each ball

Since the force applied by the arm is different, the final velocity of the balls before stopping will be different.

Thus, the final momentum of each ball will be different

The impulse experienced by each ball is different since impulse is the change in momentum of the balls.

J = ΔP

The force applied by the rigid arm is greater than the force applied by the relaxed arm because the force applied by the rigid arm will cause the ball to be brought to rest faster.

Thus, we can conclude the following;

The applied force is different for the two cases
The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change
The case A involves the greatest force.
