How are mass and weight different? how does gravity affect mass and weight
m_a_m_a [10]
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.

5. A ball is sitting at rest on the floor. What will happen if a balanced force is applied to the ball? *
Leno4ka [110]

When the balanced force is applied on the ball It will roll away from the force.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A ball lies on the floor in rest. If the balanced force is applied to

         the ball, the force will push away.

  • The forces would include gravity and the forces of air particles entering the ball from almost all directions.
  • And the ground is exercising the force and shifting away from the impact.

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee,  but they don't change.
