Complete Question:

In a lab, the mass of object A is 52 kg. What does Object A weigh?

Answer:

weight = 509.6 Newton

Explanation:

The mass of an object is a scalar quantity. This is the amount of matter present in an object. Mass is measured by using a balance. The mass of an object does not change. it is the same for a particular object anywhere. The S.I unit for mass is kilograms . It can also be measured in grams too.

The weight of an object is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction .The weight of an object is the force acting on it. The force might be due to gravity or a reaction force. The S.I unit for weight is Newton. The weight is measured on a scale. The weight of an object can change with location.

The measured mass of object A is 52 kg . The weight can be computed as

weight = mass × gravitational acceleration

mass = 52 kg

gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = 52 × 9.8

weight = 509.6 Newton

If you are asking for the weight then the formula is F=mg where f is weight m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.m=52kg and g=9.8m/s2(the gravity of earth)
F=52*9.8=509.6
therefore the weight of the object is 509.6N

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.
