Accurately

Explanation:

If we took our laboratory spring to the moon, we can accurately measure the mass because mass of any substance is the same every where in the universe.

Mass is the amount of substance in a matter. Since the same substance on earth is made up of same matter on moon, the mass will remain the same.

The only difference between the measurement would be the weight.
Weight is the vertical force on an object.
It is function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity on earth and moon are different.
The gravity on moon is about one-sixth that on earth.
The weight using the same mass will be one-sixth
But the mass will be the same.

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

Current is designate as I

Voltage as V

Power as P

I = $\frac{V}{R}$

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

P = I x V = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts

From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init

Talja [164]

Answer:

$\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y$

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.

Which statement about the minerals plagioclase feldspar, gypsum, biotite mica, and talc can best be inferred from the chart? (1)

madreJ [45]

Answer:

(4) The physical and chemical properties of these minerals determine how humans use them.

Explanation:

All the materials and the metals found on earth shows certain characteristics naturally or in their physical state. These physical characteristics can be their look, their structure, their color, strength, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.

And chemical properties of the metals are defined as those characteristics or features of the metals that it exhibits when these metals reacts chemically.

The physical properties as well as the chemical properties distinguishes each metal from each other. These properties determines how people use these metals in their life.
