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

Physics
1 answer:

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:

I

mihalych1998 [28]
We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w
lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}

k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m

b) Hence, the wave function is:

f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)

c) for x=3m you have:

f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)

d) the speed of the medium:

\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)
