How to find weight in science

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
8 0

There are several different methods, depending on the particular situation.  A few that might occasionally be useful include:

-- Read the label on the package.

-- Measure the mass and multiply by the local acceleration of gravity.

-- Measure the mass AND the local acceleration of gravity, then multiply.

-- Place the object or sample on a bathroom scale.

-- Place the object on one end of a symmetrical see-saw.  Through trial and error, determine the weight required on the other end to balance the system.

Differences between concave and convex meniscus​
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

A concave meniscus,(normally seen) occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container, as with mercury and glass.

A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

When a wave has λ=3 m and f=15 Hz, what is the speed of the wave?
Tamiku [17]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wave speed = (3 m) x (15 Hz)

<em>Wave speed = 45 m/s</em>

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s

The Heaviside function H is defined by H(t)={0 if t&lt;0, 1 if t≥0 It is used in the study of electric circuits to represent the
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

Explanation:

The heaviside function is defined as:

H(t) =1 \quad t\geq 0\\H(t) =0 \quad t

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" whent=0, and remains switched on when t>0

If we want our heaviside function to switch on when t=5, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when t=5

Thus we define a function f:

f(t) = H(t-5)

The -5 term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.

Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (H(t-5) =1 when t\geq 5, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)

Therefore our final result is:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
