Mass is constant, but weight can change with location. Explain.

1 answer:

4 0

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 converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. The focal length of th

kramer

Answer:

The focal lenth (F) =+10.0cm

Explanation:

The formular for combined focal length (F) is given as;

$1/f = 1/f_{1} + 1/f_{2}$

In this question,

F1 = 20cm

F2 = -30cm

Plugging the values into the formuar above,

$1/f = 1/20 + 1/(-30)$

$1/f = 0.05 - 0.033[tex]1/f = -0.017f = [tex]1/ -0.017$

f = 58.82cm

i.e. the combination behaves as a converging lens (because of the postive sign) of focal length 58.82cm .

Help please<br> It’s kinda urgent

user100 [1]

Answer:

a = - 50 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we simply have to replace the values supplied in the given equation.

Vf = final velocity = 0.5 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

s = distance = 100 [m]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing we have:

$(0.5)^{2}-(10)^{2} = 2*a*(100)\\0.25-10000=200*a\\200*a=-9999.75\\a =-50 [m/s^{2} ]$

The negative sign of acceleration means that the ship slows down its velocity in order to land.

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an

Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
