Physics

Answer:

Your mass is the same no matter where you go in the universe; your weight, on the other hand, changes from place to place. Mass is measured in kilograms; even though we usually talk about weight in kilograms, strictly speaking it should be measured in newtons, the units of force

In summary, mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, and weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object. ... The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does: a. no work.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does positive work (b).

Explanation:

Hi, the answer is oprion b. positive work.

If a force on an object is aimed in the direction of the object’s velocity, the force does positive work.

An object's kinetic energy will only change if the force acting on the object changes the object's speed. This will only happen if there is a component of the force in the direction that the object moves.

So, A force will do work only if the force has a component in the direction that the object moves.
