Mass refers to the gravitational force on the matter in contact with the surface of a planet

Physics
1 answer:
Arte-miy333 [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Yes and no.

Explanation: Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Objects on the surface of the earth have weight, although sometimes the weight is difficult to measure.

On a hot summer day, a young girl swings on a rope above the local swimming hole. When she lets go of the rope her initial veloc
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

5.52 m

Explanation:

Using the equation;

Vy = Vo sin θ

    Where; Vo = 2.25 m/s and θ = 35°

We get;

       = 2.25 sin 35°

        = 1.29 m/s

Thus; Vy = 1.29 m/s

But a = -9.81 m/s (against gravity)

      t = 1.20 s and

y = Vyt + 1/2 at²

   where y is the height above the water

  = 1.29 × 1.2 + (1/2 × -9.81 × 1.2²)

  = 1.548 + (-7.0632)

   = - 5.5152 m

   Thus; the height of the girl above the water is 5.52 m

Use an example to describe the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Say you are holding a thread to the end of which is tied a stone. Now when you start whirling it around you will notice that two forces have to be applied simultaneously. One which pulls the thread inwards and the other which throws it sideways or tangentially.

Both these forces will generate their respective accelerations.

The one pointed inwards will generate centripetal or radial acceleration.

The one pointing sideways will generate tangential acceleratio

Explanation:

A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction

Centripetal means “center seeking”. Centripetal acceleration is always directed inward.

Tangential acceleration is always directed tangent to the circle.

Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an

object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration. No tangential

acceleration simply means the angular acceleration of the object is zero and the object is moving

with a constant angular velocity

A steel sphere sits on top of an aluminum ring. The steel sphere (a= 1.1 x 10^-5/degrees celsius) has a diameter of 4.000 cm at
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will need to develop an expression that relates the diameter 'd', at temperature T equals the original diameter d₀ (at 0 degrees) plus the change in diameter from the temperature increase ( ΔT = T):

d = d₀ + d₀αT

for the sphere, we were given

D₀ = 4.000 cm

α = 1.1 x 10⁻⁵/degrees celsius

we have D = 4 + (4x(1.1 x 10⁻⁵)T = 4 + (4.4x10⁻⁵)T             EQN 1

Similarly for the Aluminium ring we have

we were given

d₀ = 3.994 cm

α = 2.4 x 10⁻⁵/degrees celsius

we have d = 3.994 + (3.994x(2.4 x 10⁻⁵)T = 3.994 + (9.58x10⁻⁵)T       EQN 2

Since @ the temperature T at which the sphere fall through the ring, d=D

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

4 + (4.4x10⁻⁵)T =3.994 + (9.58x10⁻⁵)T, collect like terms

0.006=5.18x10⁻⁵T

T=115.7K
