Why do physicists say mass is more fundamental than weight??

Physics
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

because mass of a matter never changes

on the other hand the weight of a matter changes due to gravity

for example the

on the moon the pull of gravity is less than it is on earth so the Weight of an object will be less on the moon but the mass of it will stay the same

Explanation:

A. A child is twirling a 1.52 kg object in a vertical circle with a radius of 67.6
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

(a) 4.21 m/s

(b) 24.9 N

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the bottom of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (+y) direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = m v² / r

v = √(r (T − mg) / m)

v = √(0.676 m (54.7 N − 1.52 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 1.52 kg)

v = 4.21 m/s

(b) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the top of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling down and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (-y) direction:

∑F = ma

T + mg = m v² / r

T = m v² / r − mg

T = (1.52 kg) (4.21 m/s)² / (0.676 m) −  (1.52 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

T = 24.9 N

What is the mass of an object that requires a force of 182 N to accelerate at a rate of 13 m/s?
Inga [223]

Answer:

m=14kg

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration by:

F=m*a

We can easily compute the mass by solving for it:

m=\frac{F}{a}

Whereas the force is 182 N (kg*m/s²) and the acceleration is 13 m/s², therefore, we obtain:

m=\frac{182kg\frac{m}{s^2} }{13\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\\m=14kg

Best regards.

Your study buddy claims that an electron always experiences a force in an electric field, but not always in a magnetic field. do
timurjin [86]
It's true charged particles are always acted on by an electric field.when the velocity of the electron is parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic force vanishes.
