Answer:

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

Explanation:

As we know that the mass of the object is the measurement of the quantity of the matter that is present in it

So here we can say that if the mass of the object is m then its total quantity of the matter that is present in it is given as

mass = (density)\times (volume)

Now for the weight of the object is defined as the force of gravity due to planet

F_g = mg

so the weight of the object is depending on the acceleration due to gravity of the planet

As we know that the gravity of moon is smaller than the gravity of the earth so here weight on the moon will be smaller than the weight on the Earth

so correct answer will be

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

mass is the same, weight is less because weight =mass ×gravity

Describe how the forces of gravity and friction affect the motion that occurs as you write on this page.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Friction is a force that slows down the motion of a moving object. ... Eventually, friction and gravity will work together to stop the motion of the slide. Gravity is a force that pulls two objects toward each other because of their mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of material (matter) that makes up an object.

You observe that a mass suspended by a spring takes 0.25 s to make a full oscillation. What is the frequency of this oscillation
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency, \omega = 25.13 rad/s

Given:

Time taken to make one oscillation, T = 0.25 s

Solution:

Frequency, f of oscillation is given as the reciprocal of time taken for one oscillation and is given by:

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.25}

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

The period of oscillation can be defined as the time taken by the suspended mass for completion of one oscillation.

Therefore, time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency of oscillation is given by:

\omega = 2\pi \times f

\omega = 2\pi \times 4

\omega = 25.13 rad/s

A solid brass cylinder and a solid wood cylinder have the same radius and mass (the wood cylinder is longer). Released together
Lena [83]

Answer:

a. They will be tie

b. Win the wood cylinder

Explanation:

a.

The both cylinders will reach the bottom at the same time notice the relation in the equation in indepent of the length and both have the same radius and the same rotational inertia.

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

a=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{com}/m*r^2}

So both will be tie

b.

a_{brass}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{brass}/m*r^2}=a_{wood}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{wood}/m*r^2}

The acceleration of the wood cylinder is larger than the acceleration of the brass cylinder so the cylinder of wood will reach the bottom first

a_{brass}

So the wood win the race

If an object accelerates from rest, with a constant of 8 m/s2, what will its velocity be after 35s?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<em>Its speed will be 280 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the speed of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, vf can be calculated as:

v_f=v_o+at

The object accelerates from rest (vo=0) at a constant acceleration of a=8\ m/s^2. The final speed at t=35 seconds is:

v_f=0+8*35

v_f=280\ m/s

Its speed will be 280 m/s
