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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

What is the relashinship between net force and balanced forces
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: A net force is the overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together. When there is a net force acting on an object, the force is said to be unbalanced. With balanced forces, equal forces are exerted in opposite directions providing a net force of zero

Give a specific example of a scalar or vector quantity. Explain why thus type of quantity is used to describe this event.
dlinn [17]

Example of scalar: speed. Example of vector: velocity

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantity is a quantity having only magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Mass

Time

Speed

- Vector: a vector quantity is a quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Force

Acceleration

Velocity

The two types of quantities can be used in the same event, but in a different way. One of the most common example is the difference between speed and velocity.

In fact, let's consider an object moving in a uniform circular motion: it means that it is moving in a circle at a constant speed. The speed of the object measures only how fast the object is moving, but without telling anything about its direction of motion. The velocity, viceversa, also takes into account the direction of motion, and exactly for this reason, the velocity in a uniform circular motion is not constant, because the direction (it is a vector) is constantly changing. So, in a uniform circular motion, the speed is constant but the velocity is not.

A 3.59 kg block is released from rest 53.0 m above the ground. When it has fallen 21.3 m, what is its kinetic energy
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<h3><u>Answer:-</u></h3>

\implies1115.2 Joules

<h3><u>Given :- </u></h3>

\red{\leadsto}\:\textsf{Height\: at \:rest\:}\sf,h_2= 53.0m

\green{\leadsto}\:\textsf{Height\: to\:which\;block\:}\sf,h_1= 21.3

<h3><u>Solution</u> :-</h3>

\malteseAs the block falls , the change in potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy

\leadstoPotential Energy at rest at height,h_2 = \sf mgh_2

\leadstoPotential Energy when fell at height,h_1 = \sf mgh_1

\\

\leadstoKinetic energy= Change in Potential energy = = \sf mgh_2-mgh_1

\begin{gathered}\implies\quad \sf mg(h_2-h_1) \\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\implies\quad \sf mg(53.0-21.3) \\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\implies\quad \sf 3.59 \times 9.8\times (53.0-21.3) \\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\implies\quad \sf 3.59 \times 9.8\times 31.7\\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\implies\quad  \boxed{\sf{1115.2\: Joules}}\\\end{gathered}

A solid metal sphere of diameter D is spinning in a gravity-free region of space with an angular velocity of ω. The sphere is sl
pashok25 [27]

Explanation:

It is given that, a solid metal sphere of diameter D is spinning in a gravity-free region of space with an angular velocity of ω.The sphere is slowly heated until it reaches its melting temperature, at which point it flattens into a uniform disk of thickness D/2.

The angular momentum remains conserved in this case. The relation between the angular momentum and the angular velocity is given by :

I_s\times \omega_s=I_d\times \omega_d

Where

I_s\ and\ I_d are moment of inertia of sphere and the disk respectively

Here, volume before = volume after

\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (D/2)^3=\pi r^2\times D/2

r=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt{3} }=0.577\ D

Initial angular momentum,

L_i=I_s\times \omega_s

L_i=\dfrac{2mr^2}{5}\times \omega_s

L_i=\dfrac{2m(D/2)^2}{5}\times \omega_s

L_i=\dfrac{2mD^2}{20}\times \omega_s..........(1)

Final angular momentum,

L_d=I_f\times \omega_d

L_d=\dfrac{2mr^2}{5}\times \omega_d

L_d=\dfrac{2m(0.577D)^2}{5}\times \omega_d............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{2mD^2}{20}\times \omega_s=\dfrac{2m(0.577D)^2}{5}\times \omega_d

\dfrac{\omega_d}{\omega_s}=0.75

Hence, this is the required solution.
