What is the difference between mass and weight?

Physics

Answer:

C. Mass is independent of the force acting on the mass.

Weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the mass.

Example: A mass of 1 kg on the earth still has a mass of 1 kg on the moon;

whereas the weight of that mass on earth is 9.8 N and only 1/6 of that amount on the moon.

How do you make a magnet with wire and electricity ?

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>By wrapping the wire along a solenoid and connecting it to electricity</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you wrap a copper wire into coils and run an electrical current through it, you will create a magnetic field. If you rotate a permanent magnet as opposed to an item that has been magnetized inside a coil of copper wire, you can create an electrical current. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding.

Choose the correct option.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

These molecules push the layer of molecules down / near, so they also start to vibrate. In this way, the oscillation is followed by one molecule next to it.

You observe a hockey puck of mass 0.12 kg, traveling across the ice at speed 18.3 m/sec. The interaction of the puck and the ice

Galina-37 [17]

The stopping distance is 143.1 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the acceleration of the hockey puck. This can be done by using Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F =ma$

where

$\sum F = F_f = -0.14 N$ is the net force acting on the puck (the force of friction, negative because it acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion)

m = 0.12 kg is the mass of the puck

a is the acceleration

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{-0.14}{0.12}=-1.17 m/s^2$

The motion of the puck is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity (the puck comes to a stop)

u = 18.3 m/s is the initial velocity

$a=-1.17 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

s is the stopping distance

And solving for s, we find

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(18.3)^2}{2(-1.17)}=143.1 m$

Which law applies to the picture?<br>Newtons 1st Law?<br>Newton's 2nd Law?<br>Newton's 3rd Law?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Newtons 1st Law.

Explanation:

Because it states as every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

When will heat STOP flowing

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: D. When both objects reach the same temperature.

Explanation: When will heat flow between the objects stop? Heat will always flow from the warmer object to the colder object. The heat transfer will stop when the two objects are at the same temperature and reach thermal equilibrium.
