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

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

If you have 12 atoms of hydrogen before a chemical reaction how many atoms of hydrogen will be president after the chemical reac
kaheart [24]
If you have 12 atoms of hydrogen before a chemical reaction, the number of hydrogen atoms that will be present after the chemical reaction is 12 atoms.
The Law of Conservation of Mass (LOCOM) states that mass is neither created nor destroyed before and after any chemical reaction.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass (LOCOM), a balanced chemical equation requires that the number of atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms on the product side of any chemical reaction.
In this context, a chemical reaction having 12 atoms of hydrogen as reactants at the beginning, should also produce a total of 12 atoms of hydrogen as products at the end of the chemical reaction.

Consult Interactive Solution 10.37 to explore a model for solving this problem. A spring is compressed by 0.0647 m and is used t
padilas [110]

Answer:

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

v=\omega\times A

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}

\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.
