What do you measure when you measure an object’s mass?

Physics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

how much space it takes up in the world

Explanation:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

solmaris [256]

(a)

KE = m v^2 / 2 = (1200 kg)(20 m/s)^2 / 2 = 240,000 J


(b)

The energy is entirely dissipated by the force of friction in the brake system.


(c)

W = delta KE = KEf - KEi = (0 - 240,000) J = -240,000 J



(d)

Fd = delta KE

F = (delta KE) / d = (-240,000 J) / (50 m) = -4800 N

The magnitude of the friction force is 4800 N.

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1 and m2 attract each other with a force F, where r is the dista
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

      W = ∫ F.dr

Where the blacks indicate vectors, in the case the force is radial and the distance is also radial, whereby the scalar producer is reduced to an ordinary product

      W = ∫ F dr

      W = G m₁m₂ ∫ 1 /r² dr

     W = G m₁ m₂2(-1 / r)

We evaluate between the lower limits r = Re and upper r = ∞

     W = G m₁m₂ (-1 / Re + 1 / ∞)

     W = - G m₁ m₂ / Re

Let's calculate

    W = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 800 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.37 10⁶

    W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

A sailboat is heading directly north at a speed of 20 knots (1 knot 50.514 m/s). the wind is blowing toward the east with a spee
stellarik [79]
(a) The magnitude of the wind as it is measured on the boat will be the result of the two vectors. Since they are at 90°, the resultant can be determined by the Pythagorean theorem.
 
                   R = sqrt ((20 knots)² + (17 knots)²)
                    R = sqrt (400 + 289)
                      R = 26.24 knots

The direction of the wind will have to be angle between the boat and the resultant.
                   cos θ = (20 knots)/(26.24 knots)
                        θ = 40.36°

Hence, the direction is 40.36° east of north.

(b) As stated, the wind is blowing in the direction that is to the east. This means that it only has one direction. Parallel to the motion of the boat, the magnitude of the wind velocity will have to be zero.

an airplane flies at a speed of 100 m/s and starts to accelerate constantly at a rate of 50 m/s2. how fast is the plane flying a
mart [117]

Answer:

331.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 100m/s

Acceleration  = 50m/s²

Distance  = 1km   = 1000m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation shown below;

     v²  = u²  + 2aS

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 a is the acceleration

 S is the distance

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     v² = 100² + (2 x 50 x 1000)

     v² = 110000

     v = √110000  = 331.7m/s
