Explain the difference between mass and weight and how these concepts relate to gravity

Physics
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
5 0

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.

What is the purpose of using significant figures? How does it relate to accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

#see solution for details

Explanation:

-Uncertainty refers to an estimate of the amount by which a result may differ from this value,

-Precision refers to how closely repeated measurements agree with each other.

-Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

-The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. Therefore, choosing the correct number of significant figures reduces the deviation from the point of accuracy/uncertainty or precision and thereby reducing margin of error in the ensuing calculations.

A bicyclist is travelling at 25 m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2 . How fast is travelling after 5 seconds
Umnica [9.8K]

Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = -4 m/s^{2}

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. V_{f} = V_{i} + at

Hence, V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>
