How are mass and weight different? how does gravity affect mass and weight

Physics

m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
8 0
Mass is the amount of matter in an object whereas weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object. Different planets exert a different force of gravity on an object-meaning that an object's weight will change depending on the force of gravity acting on it, but it's mad will remain unchanged.

False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.

What is the melting point of substance A?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Solids are easily recognized by their ability to retain a fixed shape and definite volume. Particles making

up a solid are held together in a rigid form. They are not free to move about or slide past one another and

the solid does not have the ability to flow. (Although the particles of a solid do not move position to position, they do have motion in that they are constantly vibrating.

To change the temperature of a solid, heat energy must be added. The amount of heat energy that changes

the temperature of 1.0 g of a solid by 1.0°C is called its specific heat (c). Each substance has its own

specific heat. The specific heat of ice is 2.1 Joules/g°C. In other words we must supply 1.0 gram of ice

with 2.1 Joules of heat energy to raise its temperature by 1.0 °C.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change the temperature of a solid is:

Heat = Mass x Specific Heat (solid) x Temperature Change

Q = m c DT

10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g 10 g

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at -20 °C to 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C. (A-B)

Q = mc∆T = (10 g) (2.1 J/g°C) (20°C) = 420 J

If you continue to add heat energy once the temperature of the ice reaches 0°C , the heat absorbed is called

the heat of fusion (Lf). This heat is used to cause a change of phase (from a solid to a liquid). This heat is

increasing the potential energy of the molecules of the solid. No temperature change takes place. Each

substance has its own heat of fusion. The heat of fusion for ice is 340 Joules/g. Exactly the same amount

of heat is given up when 1.0 g of water is changed to ice. This heat is called the heat of crystallization.

The general equation for calculating heat energy to change a solid to a liquid is:

Heat = Mass x Heat of Fusion

Q = m Lf

Calculate the heat necessary to change 10 g of ice(s) at 0°C to 10 g of water(l) at 0°C.(B-C)

Explanation:

Q = mLf = (10 g)( 340 J/g) = 3400 J

Mass m moves to the right with speed =v along a frictionless horizontal surface and crashes into an equal mass m initially at re
Amiraneli [1.4K]

After the collision the magnitude of the momentum of the system is Mv

Given:

mass of 1st object = M

speed of 1st object = v

mass of 2nd object = M

speed of 2nd object = 0

To Find:

magnitude of the momentum after collision

Solution: Product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton's second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.

Applying conservation of linear momentum

Mv + M(0) = 2MV

Mv = 2MV

V = v/2

So, after collision momentum is

p = 2MV = 2xMxv/2 = Mv

So, after collision momentum is Mv

I believe the answer to your question is “Lithosphere plate boundaries”

The planet Earth is covered by a layer formed by land and rocks called the earth's crust or lithosphere. This crust is not smooth and uniform, but rather irregular and composed of tectonic plates, also called lithosphere plates. These plates are not fixed as they are under the magma (high temperature molten rock).

Hope this helps!:)
