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.

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?
Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point. 

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle.  The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle.  If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f
bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6

the spring stretch for 100 N:

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm

Match each type of wave to the way it moves. transverse wave longitudinal wave electromagnetic wave back and forth at right angl
marta [7]

Transverse wave = at right angles to the direction of the motion of the wave

in transverse wave medium particles will move perpendicular to the direction of motion of medium particles

they all are perpendicular to wave always

Longitudinal wave = back and forth in the direction of the motion of the wave

in longitudinal waves medium particles will move in the direction of wave and the motion is always in back and forth type

electromagnetic wave = alternating waves moving at right angles to each other

electromagnetic waves are combination of electric field and magnetic field which oscillates perpendicular to wave as well as they are perpendicular to each other
