Weight is how much force is exerted on the body by gravity. It is measured in N. To get Weight you multiply the mass in kg by the gravitational force of the planet that you are on (about 9.81 for earth). Gravity <em>causes</em> weight, which is why if you are an in an impossible scenario where no gravity is acting on you your weight would be 0N.

Mass is how much matter something contains, measured in Grams. A body's mass always stays the same regardless of where it is.

The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.

dusya [7]

Answer:

Compressor

Explanation:

Compressor - the compressor is a unit that placed at the inner side of the condenser. The main function of the compressor is to increase the pressure by reducing the volume of air. And this reduced volume of air is compressed for the cleaning purpose of the air tube. While condenser is used for heat exchange which converts steam into liquid form.  

It is advisable not to operate the compressor when the outside temperature is below 65 degrees F.

Answer:

A) Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is why objects tend to resist changes in their motion. Like a rolling ball will keep rolling unless we try to add friction to it, which then would stop the ball.

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacit
malfutka [58]

Answer:

T_2 = 77.5c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first boltsT_1=100

Temp of 2nd bolt T_2=55

Generally the equation showing the relationship between  heat & temperature is given by

  q=cm \triangle T

Generally heat released  by the iron bolt  = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

     -(0.45*m* (T_2-100  \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)

     -(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)

      T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c

      T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}

      T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c

Therefore T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c is the final temperature inside the container

Ivan

Answer:

40s

Explanation:

Given:

F=100N

V=40m/s and 0

force=change in momenton

F=mv-mu

t=40(100-0)/100

t=40/1

t=40s
