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.

Suppose a truck has a momentum of 40,120 kg • and a mass of 1,180 kg. what is the truck’s velocity?
klasskru [66]
The momentum of an object is the product between the mass m of the object and its velocity:
p=mv
The truck in our problem has momentum equal to
p=40120 kg m/s 
and a mass of
m=1180 kg
so, if we re-arrange the previous formula, we can use these data to find the velocity of the truck:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{40120 kg m/s}{1180 kg}=34 m/s

A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 43.0 m/s; when it leav
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

-7.352\times 10^3N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of baseball=m=0.145 kg

Initial velocity of ball=u=43 m/s

\theta=31^{\circ}

Speed, v=51 m/s

Time, t=1.71 ms=1.71\times 10^{-3} s

1 ms=1.71\times 10^{-3} s

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball=\frac{m(vcos\theta-u)}{t}

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball=\frac{0.145(-51cos31-43)}{1.71\times 10^{-3}}

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball=-7.352\times 10^3N

List some ways that the sun's energy affects our atmosphere
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Nothing is more important to us on Earth than the Sun. Without the Sun's heat and light, the Earth would be a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock. The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.
