What distinguishes mass from weight? A. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the

force of gravity on the object. B. Weight is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while mass is a measure of the force of gravity on the object. C. Mass is a measure of an object's inertial force, and weight is the force exerted by that object on other objects. D. Mass and weight are synonyms and ultimately describe the same principle.

Answer:

A. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.

Explanation:

Mass is also a scalar quantity associated with the amount of atoms and/or molecules that constitutes the object. While weight is a force due to the action of gravity (either on our planet or any other one) and therefore a vector quantity that we routinely use as scalar due to the fact that it is always pointing down (towards the center of the Earth) so we ignore a bit the direction associated with it.

An ice skater accelerates backward for 5.0 second to final speed of 12m/s. If the acceleration backward was at a a rate of 1.5m/
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, v = 12m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

12 = U + 1.5*5

12 = U + 7.5

U = 12 - 7.5

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?
Marat540 [252]
A spring scale measures weight because <span>It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a </span>spring<span> is proportional to the distance that </span>spring<span> is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the </span>scale<span> markings on the </span>spring<span> balance are equally spaced. A </span>spring scale<span> can</span>not measure mass<span>, only </span>weight<span>. hope that helped</span>

Helga [31]

Position of B :  

x = 4.66*cos 30 = 4.036  

y = 3-4.66*sin 30 = 3-2.33 = 0.67  

BC = √y^2+(x-1)^2 = √0.67^2+3.036^2 = 3.109  

heading = arctan y/(x-1) = arctan 0.67/(3.036) = 12.44° south of west

hope this helps :)
