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.

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

<em>The period of the motion will still be equal to T.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, <em>increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.</em>

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.
