What is the difference between weight and mass? Give an example of how they are different.

1 answer:

8 0

Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.

Which technology is intended to work at a distance of about 5 to 10 centimeters with transmission speeds of 250 Kbps?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

NFC Near Field Communication

Explanation:

The Near Field Communication is a communication protocol, for extra short distance with a maximum of 10 centimeters, but usually used in 4 to 5 cm. Its intended to be used in contactless pay systems and in transportation card. Actually has been used to transfer multimedia from cell phones and other devices. The maximum data rate is around 424 kbit/s, with mean in 250 Kbp

1-Calculate Req

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

1. 21.66 Ohms

2. 3.38 A

3. 6.7 V

Explanation:

1. Req = 6+2 = 8 Ohms (2 and 6 are in a series circuit)

Req = 1/8 +1/4 = 3/8 = 8/3 = 2.66 Ohms (8 and 4 are parallel, so we will add them using this equation)

Req = 2.66 + 1 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 21.66 Ohms

2. I = V/R = 9/2.66 = 3.38 A (In a series circuit, the current is the same across the resistors, so we will add them and divided them by 9 volts)

3. V = IR = 3.38 x 2 = 6.7 V (In a series circuit, the voltage is different, so each resistor will have a different voltage.)

I hope this helps. I am not an expert in physics but its ok :)

Note: If the answer benefited u, mark me as the brainliest answer if u can, thx.

which planet should punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given

Harrizon [31]

The planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>

Weight of Punch on Earth = 236 lb
Desired weight = 118 lb

The mass of Punch will be constant in every planet;

$W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g}\\\\m = \frac{236}{g}$

The acceleration due to gravity of each planet with respect to Earth is calculated by using the following relationship;

$F = mg = \frac{GmM}{R^2} \\\\g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

where;

M is the mass of Earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
R is the Radius of Earth = 6,371 km

For Planet Tehar;

$g_T =\frac{G \times 2.1M}{(0.8R)^2} \\\\g_T = 3.28(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_T = 3.28 g$

For planet Loput:

$g_L =\frac{G \times 5.6M}{(1.7R)^2} \\\\g_L = 1.94(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_L = 1.94g$

For planet Cremury:

$g_C =\frac{G \times 0.36M}{(0.3R)^2} \\\\g_C = 4(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_C = 4 g$

For Planet Suven:

$g_s =\frac{G \times 12M}{(2.8R)^2} \\\\g_s = 1.53(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_s = 1.53 g$

For Planet Pentune;

$g_P =\frac{G \times 8.3 }{(4.1R)^2} \\\\g_P = 0.5(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_P = 0.5 g$

For Planet Rams;

$g_R =\frac{G \times 9.3M}{(4R)^2} \\\\g_R = 0.58(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_R = 0.58 g$

The weight Punch on Each Planet at a constant mass is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\W_T = mg_T\\\\W_T = \frac{236}{g} \times 3.28g = 774.08 \ lb\\\\W_L = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.94g =457.84 \ lb\\\\ W_C = \frac{236}{g}\times 4g = 944 \ lb \\\\ W_S = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.53g = 361.08 \ lb\\\\W_P = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.5 g = 118 \ lb\\\\W_R = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.58 g = 136.88 \ lb$

Thus, the planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

The complete question is below:

Which planet should Punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? Refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given to determine your answer.

Punch Taut is a down-on-his-luck heavyweight boxer. One day, he steps on the bathroom scale and "weighs in" at 236 lb. Unhappy with his recent bouts, Punch decides to go to a different planet where he would weigh in at 118 lb so that he can compete with the bantamweights who are not allowed to exceed 118 lb. His plan is to travel to Xobing, a newly discovered star with a planetary system. Here is a table listing the planets in that system (find the image attached).

In the table, the mass and the radius of each planet are given in terms of the corresponding properties of the earth. For instance, Tehar has a mass equal to 2.1 earth masses and a radius equal to 0.80 earth radii.

wildlife biologists are working to save some unique birds in the forest of north georgia.which of these questions must be answer

Maru [420]

Extinct might be a word you associate with animals that lived long ago, like the dinosaurs, but did you know that over 18,000 species are classified as "threatened" (susceptible to extinction) today? Scientists involved in wildlife conservation have a tough job; they are in charge of determining what needs to be done to prevent a species from becoming extinct. Habitat, food supply, and impacts of local human populations are just a few of the factors these scientists take into account. It is a lot to keep track of for a single location, but the job becomes even harder when it is a migratory animal. In this science project, you will get a firsthand look at their job. You will access real data about migratory birds and use satellite images to analyze their habitats, then come up with a conservation plan to protect the species from extinction.
