Weight: how heavy something is
mass: quantity of inertia possessed by and object

Answer:

Weight is just how heavy something is.  Mass is the quantity of inertia possessed by an object. Another way of explaining mass is how much matter is in an object or how much "stuff" is in an object.  Another important difference is that weight is a force and mass is not.

lesya692 [45]

The ball travels 18.3 m at a speed of 35.6 m/s.
How long does the trip take ?
time = (distance)/(speed) = (18.3 m) / (35.6 m/s) = 0.514 second

All during the trip, the ball is spinning at the rate of 29 rev/second.

Spinning at 29 rev/s for 0.514 sec, it completes  14.91 revolutions,
before stopping with a THUNK in the pocket of the catcher's mitt.

Scientists experimenting with two charged objects of 2.56 x 10-6 C and 3.34 x 10-7 C displayed a repulsion of 2.26 x 10-3 N. How
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The objects were 1.8m apart.

Explanation:

We will start stating the Coulomb's Law. It says that:

F_e=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^{2}}

Where F_e is the electric force between the objects, q_1 and q_2 are the magnitude of the charge of the objects, r is the distance between them and K is the Coulomb's constant (K=8.9*10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} } in vacuum). Solving for the distance r we have:

r=\sqrt{\frac{Kq_1q_2}{F_e} }

Plugging the given values into this equation, we obtain:

r=\sqrt{\frac{(8.9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} })(2.56*10^{-6}C)(3.34*10^{-7}C)}{2.26*10^{-3}N}}=1.8m

In words, the two charged objects were 1.8m apart.
