Weight and mass are interchangeable terms. True or False

Physics

False
weight (N-force) = mass(kg-matter) x g

strictly in Physics, both are not interchangeable.
in normal life, weight (kg) actally means mass in Physics.

It's false. Mass is a way of measuring how much matter an object contains, where as weight measures how hard gravity is pulling on an object. While on earth, these are typically interchangeable. However, if you were to go to Mars, your mass would stay the same, but the weight will be different. This is because you still contain the same amount of matter, but the gravity's pull will be different because the moon has a different gravitational pull than the earth. Hope this helps!

Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U =
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

U = 56877.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:

U = mgh Formula (1)

Where:

U is the potential energy in Joules (J)

m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)

Data

m= 81.4 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

h = 71.3 m

Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower

We replace data in the formula (1)

U = m*g*h

U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)

U = 56877.4 N*m

U = 56877.4 J

Suppose you have a 113-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. (μk = 0.3 and μs = 0.5) (a) What maximum force (in N) can you ex
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

554.27N

Explanation:

(a)  The max frictional force exerted horizontally on the crate and the floor is,

Substitute the values,

μs=0.5

mass=113kg

g=9.81m/s

Ff=μsN

   =μsmg

   =(0.5 x 113 x 9.81)

Ff=554.27N
