How a measuring scale measure our weight

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
5 0

Scales measure how much something weighs—and they do it by measuring how much force exists between the object you're weighing and planet Earth. Although scales measure force, they give you measurements of mass in kilograms, grams, pounds, or whatever.

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?
Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

The magnetic field is 0.0 2M from the wire is 0.1 T what is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0.0 1M from the same wire
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.2 T

Explanation:

Magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from wire since the distance is halved therefore magnetic field will be doubled.

At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the
Scrat [10]

Answer: 1.8\°

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda (1)

Where:

d=3.4(10)^{-5}m is the width of the slit

\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength of the light  

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when n=2, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{2}:

sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d} (3)

Then:

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})   (4)

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})   (5)

Finally:

\theta_{2}=1.8\°   (6)
