<h2>Answer: The mass will remain the same, but the weight will change </h2>

Let's start by explaining that mass and weight are very different concepts.

Mass $m$ is the amount of matter that exists in a body, which only depends on the quantity and type of particles within it. This means mass is an intrinsic property of each body and <u>remains the same regardless of where the body is located. </u>

On the other hand, weight $W$ is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass $m$ of the body by the acceleration of gravity $g$ :

$W=m.g$

Then, since the Earth and the Moon have different values of gravity, the weight of an object in each place will vary, but its mass will not.

a box is at rest on a ground. An unbalance force acts on the box causes it to start. The box moves 10 meters in 2 seconds and th

nordsb [41]

The box stopped moving because there was a negative acceleration in the x direction caused by friction.
To find the average speed, simply divide the displacement by time: 10 / 2 = 5 m/s

Dalton’s completing an investigation in the science lab. He observes that a sample of liquid turns to gas at 135°C. What’s this

artcher [175]

The temperature at which the sample of liquid turns to gas at 135 °C is termed as boiling point.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The observation of conversion of liquid to gas indicates that there is occurrence of change in the state of matter. The inter-conversion from one state to another can be done by either varying the temperature or by varying the pressure.

In this case, the liquid on heating gets converted to gaseous state after attaining a particular temperature say 135 °C. So, this process of conversion from liquid to gaseous state on heating is termed as boiling.

The temperature at which a liquid converts to gas is termed as the boiling point of that liquid.

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

three girls were pushing the same car with a net force of 450 N [N48°E]. Two of the girls were pushing with forces of 310 N [N25

ElenaW [278]

The net force is the vector

∑ F = (450 N) (cos(42°) i + sin(42°) j)

and two of the forces provided by the girls are

F₁ = (310 N) (cos(115°) i + sin(115°) j)

F₂ = (250 N) (cos(285°) i + sin(285°) j)

Then the force provided by the third girl is the vector

F₃ = ∑ F - F₁ - F₂

F₃ = ((450 N) cos(42°) - (310 N) cos(115°) - (250 N) cos(285°)) i

… … … + ((450 N) sin(42°) - (310 N) sin(115°) - (250 N) sin(285°)) j

F₃ ≈ (400.722 N) i + (261.635 N) j

So, the third girl provided a force of magnitude

||F₃|| = √((400.722 N)² + (261.635 N)²) ≈ 478.572 N ≈ 480 N

pointing in a direction

arctan((261.635 N)/(400.722 N)) ≈ 33.1409° ≈ 33°

relative to East which refers to 0°; that is, 33° N of E or E33°N. Since the other forces are given relative to North or South, we can write this direction as N57°E.

So, the third girl pushed with force 480 N [N57°E].
