What is the difference between mass and weight?

2 answers:

Mass<span> is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas </span>weight<span> is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg.
Also
weight is different in different places like the earth and the moon.
And mass is the same everywhere,it is independet of everything

Mass never changes and weight does

stiv31 [10]

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon

fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.

A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 51 cm mark. With two nickels stacked over the 6.0 cm mark, the stick

Oliga [24]

Answer:

65g

Explanation:

Two main conditions for equilibrium are:

I. The resultant force must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the forces acting in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the forces acting in the opposite direction about the same point.

II. The resultant moment must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the moments in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the moments in another direction about the same point.

For the above question,

the 51cm mark is the point where the resultant weight of the meter stick lies,

the pivot or point is the 45cm mark where the stick balanced when 2 nickels ( total mass (5.0g x 2) 10g were placed at the 6cm mark.

Using the conversion factor:

1000g(1kg) = 10N, we can convert mass to weight, calculate the weight of the meter stick then reconvert to mass.

That is,

mass of 2 nickels = 10g = 10/1000 = 0.01N.

Moment = Force x distance from line of force to pivot of rotation

Applying the principle of equilibrium,

Moment of left side = Moment of right side

0.01 x (45-6) = W x (51-45)

Where W = weight of the meter stick

W x 6 = 0.01 x 39

W x 6 = 0.39

W = 0.39/6

W= 0.065N

Therefore, mass of meter stick = 0.065 x 1000 = 65g.

A spherical ball of charged particles has a uniform charge density. In terms of the ball's radius R, at what radial distances in

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Electric field at radius r inside the solid sphere is

Electric field at radius r between inner radius and outer radius of the shell is

E=0 N/C

Explanation:Given

The radius of the solid sphere is

The charge on the solid sphere is

The inner radius of the shell is

The outer radius of the shell is

The total charge on the shell is

PART(A)

The magnitude of electric field at radius r where \\The volumetric charge density of the solid sphere will be

The charge enclosed by the radius r inside the solid sphere is

rho=

According to gauss law

PART(B)

The electric field at radius r where

The shell is conducting so due to induction of charge

The charge induced on the inner surface of the shell is equal in magnitude of the total charge on the solid sphere but polarity will be changed because a conducting shell has no net electric field inside the shell

So,

The charge on the inner surface of the shell is

Due to conservation of the charge on the shell

The charge accumulated on the outer surface of the shell is

The charge enclosed by the radius r where

According to gauss law
