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.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

a 250g moves eastward along a straight path at a constant velocity of 12 m per second calculate the momentum of the ball ​
lara31 [8.8K]

Explanation:

If two particles are involved in an elastic collision, the velocity of the second particle after collision can be expressed as: v2f=2⋅m1(m2+m1)v1i+(m2−m1)(m2+m1)v2i v 2 f = 2 ⋅ m 1 ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 1 i + ( m 2 − m 1 ) ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 2 i .
