Answer:

mass is something that takes up space and weight is how much mass something has

Your mass will stay the same no matter what place while your weight can vary depending on the circumstances. For instance, in space you have no weight but you still have a mass. The weight is basically the force of gravity that is pushed upon you.

The engine of a locomotive exerts a constant force of 8.1*10^5 N to accelerate a train to 68 km/h. Determine the time (in min) t
Bumek [7]

Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of 8.1\times 10^5 N

Mass of train=1.9\times 10^7

Final speed (v)=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s

F=ma

so acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}

a=0.042631 m/s^2

and acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}

t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s

In a science museum, a 140 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 16.8 m -long wire.
Mice21 [21]

The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s

The stopcock connecting a 2.14 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 8.19 atm, and a 9.84 L bulb containing krypton gas
marshall27 [118]

Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1+P_2V_2=P_fV_f

where,

P_1 = first pressure = 8.19 atm

P_2 = second pressure = 2.65 atm

V_1 = first volume = 2.14 L

V_2 = second volume = 9.84 L

P_f = final pressure = ?

V_f = final volume = 2.14 L  + 9.84 L = 11.98 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

8.19atm\times 2.14L+2.65atm\times 9.84L=P_f\times 11.98L

P_f=3.64atm

Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

A 3.00 kg mass is traveling at an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What is the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 3 .00 kg

initial speed of the mass, u = 25 m/s

distance traveled by the mass, d = 62.5 m

The acceleration of the mass is given as;

v² = u² + 2ad

at the maximum distance of 62.5 m, the final velocity of the mass = 0

0 = u² + 2ad

-2ad = u²

-a = u²/2d

-a = (25)² / (2 x 62.5)

-a = 5

a = -5 m/s²

the magnitude of the acceleration = 5 m/s²

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

F = 3 x 5

F = 15 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.
