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.

If 30.45 grams of water is to be heated up 3.3 degrees to make baby
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. 420 J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30.45 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g °C.

Temperature = 3.3°C

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 30.45 * 4.18 * 3.3

Q = 420.03 ≈ 420 Joules

A positively charged particle of mass 7.2 x 10-8 kg is traveling due east with a speed of 88 m/s and enters a 0.6-T uniform magn
Marianna [84]

Answer:

q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = ma

where force is magnetic force

        F = q v x B

the bold are vectors, if we write the module of this expression we have

         F = qv B sin θ

as the particle moves perpendicular to the field, the angle is θ= 90º

        F = q vB

the acceleration of the particle is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        qvB = m v² / r

         qBr = m v

          q =\frac{m\  v}{B\  r}

The exercise indicates the time it takes in the route that is carried out with constant speed, therefore we can use

          v = d / t

the distance is ¼ of the circle,

          d = \frac{1}{4} \  2\pi  r

           d =\frac{\pi }{2r}

we substitute

           v =  \frac{\pi  r}{2t}

           r = \frac{2 \ t  \ v}{\pi }

           

let's calculate

           r =\frac{2 \ 2.2  \ 10^{-3} \ 88}{\pi } 2 2.2 10-3 88 /πpi

           r = 123.25 m

         

let's substitute the values

           q = \frac{ 7.2 \ 10^{-8} \ 88}{ 0.6 \ 123.25}7.2 10-8 88 / 0.6 123.25

            q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C

Let's reduce to mC

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C (10³ mC / 1C)

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

A manufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 5.8 kV of static electricity What magnitude of charge would have
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 5.8 kV

d = Potential distance = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

A = Area = 0.3×0.08 = 0.024 m²

ε₀ = permittivity constant in a Vacuum= 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m

\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow \Q=V\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=5.8\times 10^3\frac{0.024\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.0028}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.4\times 10^{-7}\ C

Magnitude of charge transferred between a carpet and a shoe is 4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb.

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.375 g is the final amount of the material  

A_{o}=3 g is the initial amount of the material  

t=1 h is the time elapsed  

H is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)  

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find h from (1):

0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (2)  

\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}}) (4)  

-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2) (5)  

Clearing H:

H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693) (6)  

Finally:

h=0.333 h This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope
