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

Physics

m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago

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.

A wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th
garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s =  4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m =  2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}  J.s

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's crust. What causes the Earth's crust to move?
fomenos

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

Hello....I need help with this question.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be calculated as:

v = u + at (where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time)

25 m/s  = 9 m/s  + a(5 s)  (a is unknown)

16 m/s  = a(5 s)

a = 3.2 m/s²

We assume that this is a uniform acceleration (meaning that the velocity increases at an equal rate for those 5 seconds).

Contrast balanced and unbalanced forces.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. ... Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.
