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

Physics

Mass is always constant. You are 50 kgs no matter how far above the surface of the earth you are, imagine standing on a high building you'll still be 50 kgs. But weigh depends on th gravitational acceleration at the point ie as you move up the surface of the earth the gravitational acceleration fluctuates and is not constant. But at school level it's 9.8 m.s-2

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at
Maru [420]
Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a result?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy decreases. The Total Energy stays the same

Explanation:

The TE stays the same, so if PE increases then KE will decrease.

A spherical submersible 1.84 m in radius, armed with multiple cameras, descends under water in a region of the Atlantic Ocean kn
Drupady [299]

Answer:

23932242.5 Pa

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 1.013\times 10^5\ Pa

P_w = Pressure of seawater

\rho = Density of sea water = 1.025\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

h = Depth of shipwreck = 2.37\times 10^3\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The absolute pressure is given by

P_{ab}=P_a+P_w\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=1.013\times 10^5+1.025\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 2.37\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow P_{ab}=23932242.5\ Pa

The absolute pressure at the depth of the shipwreck is 23932242.5 Pa
