Weight and mass are interchangeable terms. True or False

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!

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?
Sonja [21]
<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so 
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).

I don't understand the question but impulse and momentum is the same. So maybe is the force same too
