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.

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

A car’s tire rotates 5.25 times in 3 seconds. What is the tangential velocity of the tire?
Lena [83]

The tangential velocity of the car's tire is the product of the angular velocity and radius of the car's tire which is 11(r) m/s.

<h3>Angular velocity of the tire</h3>

The angular velocity of the tire is the rate of change of angular displacement of the tire with time.

The magnitude of the angular velocity of the tire is calculated as follows;

ω = 2πN

where;

  • N is the number of revolutions per second

ω = 2π x (5.25 / 3)

ω =  11 rad/s

<h3>Tangential velocity of the tire</h3>

The tangential velocity of the car's tire is the product of the angular velocity and radius of the car's tire.

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is caculated as follows;

v = ωr

where;

  • r is the radius of the car's tire

v = 11r m/s

Reading Check: (Describe) how pressure changes as the velocity of a fluid<br> increases.
juin [17]

Answer:

Bernoulli's equation states mathematically that if a fluid is flowing through a tube and the tube diameter decreases, then the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure decreases, and the mass flow (and therefore volumetric flow) remains constant so long as the air density is constan

When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the ______________ of the wave to
Alex
I think the corect answer would be C. When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the frequency of the wave to measure the Doppler Effect. As the speed of a vehicle increases, the greater the change of the frequency of the waves would be transmitted to the radar guns which is being used by the police officer. Doppler effect is an effect that is observed in sound and light waves as these waves move away or to the direction of the observer. This is being used in many applications like in astronomy, weather balloons, the radar guns,and for underwater researches.
