1. What is weight? What is mass? How are mass and weight different?

1 answer:

8 0

Mass : measures the amount of MATTER a substance is made up of

Weight : measures the PULL OF GRAVITY on a substance

How are mass and weight different ? Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in a substance, while weight is a measure of gravity's effect on that mass.

How does mass affect weight ? As your body grows, you will have more mass, which also means you will weigh more. That’s because when you’re on the earth, the amount of gravity that pulls on you stays the same.

So when your mass changes, so does your weight!

Hope this helps :)

What is the formula to find PE and KE ?

Lapatulllka [165]

PE stands for Potential Energy. It is the stored energy in an object due to its position with respect to some reference. It is expressed in Joules.

P.E = m * g * h OR P.E. = mgh

m - mass of the body
g - acceleration due to gravity
h - height attained due to the body's displacement.

K.E. stands for Kinetic Energy. It is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.

K.E = 1/2 mv² where m = mass of the body; v = velocity with which the body is moving.

How do you double the speed in physics

Mariulka [41]

You measure the open distance between the floor and the bottom surface of the gas pedal. Then you press the gas pedal down 1/2 of that distance.

Answer:

v=4m/s

Explanation:

The formulas for accelerated motion are:

$v=v_0+at\\x=x_0+v_0t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

We can derive the formula $v^2=v_0^2+2ad$ from them.

We have:

$v-v_0=at\\t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}$

And substitute:

$x=x_0+v_0(\frac{v-v_0}{a})+\frac{a}{2}(\frac{v-v_0}{a})^2\\x-x_0=\frac{v_0(v-v_0)}{a}+\frac{(v-v_0)^2}{2a}\\2a(x-x_0)=2v_0(v-v_0)+(v-v_0)^2=2v_0v-2v_0^2+v^2+v_0^2-2vv_0=v^2-v_0^2$

Where in the first step of the last row we just multiplied everything by 2a. Since $x-x_0$ is the displacement d, we have proved that $v^2=v_0^2+2ad$

We use then our values to calculate the final velocity when starting from rest, traveling a distance 0.002m with acceleration $4000 m/s^2$ :

$v=\sqrt{v_0^2+2ad}=\sqrt{2(4000m/s^2)(0.002m)}=4m/s$
