What is the difference between mass and weight?

Physics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]4 years ago
4 0

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.

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if
maxonik [38]
The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of \Delta V=780 V, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  e \Delta V
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
\Delta V is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s


Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T

A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

E=mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

What is the resultant fore acting on a 500g object accelerating 5m/s2
zimovet [89]

2.5N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 500g

Acceleration = 5m/s²

unknown:

Resultant force = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law "the net force on a body or the resultant force is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Resultant or net force = m x  a

where  m is the mass

         a is the acceleration

Now we need to convert the mass to kg

 1000g  = 1kg

 500g  = \frac{500}{1000} = 0.5kg

Therefore;

 Input the parameters:

    Force = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5N

Consider a car travelling at 60 km/hr. If the radius of a tire is 25 cm, calculate the angular speed of a point on the outer edg
KengaRu [80]

Answer

given,

speed of car = 60 km/hr

                     = 60 x 0.278 m/s

                     = 16.68 m/s

radius of the tire = 25 cm = 0.25 m

time taken to stop = 6 s

average acceleration = ?

\omega = \dfrac{v}{R}

\omega = \dfrac{16.68}{0.25}

\omega =66.72 rad/s

average acceleration= \dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

                                   =  \dfrac{66.72}{6}

                                   = 11.12 rad/s²

correct answer option D

b) length of sea saw = 10 m

mass of jack = 100 Kg

mass of Jill = 60 Kg

Let y be the distance from the Jack. To balance the seesaw moment on both side should balance each other about fulcrum

   now,

     100 x y = 5 x 60

             y = 3 m

the correct answer is option B
