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.

Is it possible to be moving but not be in motion?
GREYUIT [131]

No. Motion is the thing that when you're moving, you're in it.

But it IS possible for one person to say you're moving and another person to say you're not moving, both at the same time, and both of them are correct !

A weightlifter can lift 220lbs. (assume 1kg weighs 2.2lbs) If he lifts the weight 2m above the floor, how much work did he do?
Anton [14]
Convert 220 lb to kg.

220/2.2 = 100kg.

W = Fd (In this case, F is the weight)
W = (100)(2)
W = 200J

P = W/t
P = (200)/(1.2)
P = 166.67W

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.
