What is the difference between weight and mass?

Physics
1 answer:
n200080 [17]4 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Weight is the gravitational force exerted between two masses.

On earth, an object might weigh 6 Newtons.  On the moon, the same object weighs 1 Newton.  The mass doesn't change, but the weight does, because of the difference in gravity.

Assume that in interstellar space the distance between two electrons is about 0.8 cm. The electric force between the two electro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

F = 3.6 x 10⁻²⁴ N

Explanation:

The force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is given by the Coulomb's Law. Coulomb's Law states that:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Electric Force between electrons = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = Charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = distance between electrons = 0.8 cm = 0.008 m

Therefore,

F = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(0.008 m)²

<u>F = 3.6 x 10⁻²⁴ N</u>

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl
tangare [24]
The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906
