What is the difference between Weight and Mass?Please give a fair amount of detail!

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 causes 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 mass 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 weight 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.

We humans are on track to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that the concentration in the future more than double

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.

Explanation:

CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = $(1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N$

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = $2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ$

Average power is given as:

$P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W$

Help!!!, combination circuits, Physics

Kaylis [27]

Current and voltage on each resistor:

$I_1 = 3.98 A, V_1 = 3.98 V$

$I_2=0.015 A, V_2 = 0.075 V$

$I_3 = 0.4 A, V_3 = 0.4 V$

$I_4 = 0.385 A, V_4 = 0.77 V$

$I_5 = 0.585 A, V_5 = 1.17 V$

$I_6 = 3.01 A, V_6 = 6.02 V$

$I_7 = 0.97 A, V_7 = 4.85 V$

Explanation:

In order to solve the circuit, we first have to find the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit, then the total current, and then we can proceed finding the current and the voltage for each resistor.

We start by calculating the equivalent resistance of resistors 2 and 3, which are in parallel:

$R_{23}=\frac{R_2R_3}{R_2+R_3}=\frac{(5)(1)}{5+1}=0.833\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 4, so:

$R_{234}=R_{23}+R_4=0.833+2.0=2.833\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 5, therefore:

$R_{2345}=\frac{R_{234}R_5}{R_{234}+R_5}=\frac{(2.833)(2.0)}{2.833+2.0}=1.172\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 7, so:

$R_{23457}=R_{2345}+R_7=1.172+5.0=6.172\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 6, so:

$R_{234567}=\frac{R_{23457}R_6}{R_{23457}+R_6}=\frac{(6.172)(2.0)}{6.172+2.0}=1.510\Omega$

Finally, this combination is in series with resistor 1:

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_{234567}=1.0+1.510=2.510\Omega$

We finally found the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now we can find the total current in the circuit, which is also the current flowing through resistor 1:

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{10}{2.510}=3.98 A$
