Weight is relative to gravity. You weigh more on a planet or area that has more gravity because it is pulling you down more. Mass is a measure of how much matter there is but weight is the measure of the pull of gravity on an object

A plane takes off in san francisco at noon and flies toward the southeast. an hour later, it is 400 kilometers east and 300 kilo
eduard
This first step involves a right triangle. If the plane is 400 km east and 300 km south of the origin, and it flew in a straight line, then you can construct a right triangle with side lengths 300, 400, and c. You may recognize that these are multiples of the Pythagorean triple 3, 4, 5, so the side length c is 500 km. Otherwise, you would write 
c^2 = 300^2+400^2 \\ c = 500. 

This second step is, if I am correctly interpreting "degrees south of east," to find the angle formed by the horizontal line representing the east and the path of the plane. I made a diagram that does just that (see attached). You can use a trig function of one of the angles to solve. I chose
tan(C)= \frac{3}{4}  \\  arctan( \frac{3}{4})=36.870. Thus, I believe it is 37° south of east.

An archer aims his arrow directly at an orange hanging on an orange tree. At the moment he releases the arrow, the orange drops
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Yes it would

Explanation:

As the arrow and the orange are in the same position initially, vertically speaking. They are also subjected to the same gravitational acceleration g only in the vertical direction. They also start their motion at the same time. So their equation of motion can be written as

y = h + gt^2/2

Where h is the initial height of both of them. Since their g, h, and t are the same, their vertical position must be the same at the same time. As the arrows progress horizontally, it would hit the orange.
