Is the mass of an object measured with scale, yes or no​

Physics
1 answer:
mamaluj [8]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The scale actually measures the force that the object does against it, and that force is called the weight.

Such that if we have an object with mass M and we are on Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is g, the weight is:

W = M*g

Now, there is a unit called "kilogram-force"

Such that on Earth, an object that has a mass of 10 kilograms, weighs 10 kilograms-force.

Then from the weight measure, we can instantly know the mass of the object, but the thing that is being measured is the weight, not the mass.

A 1 036-kg satellite orbits the Earth at a constant altitude of 98-km. (a) How much energy must be added to the system to move t
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) The Energy added should be 484.438 MJ

b) The  Kinetic Energy change is -484.438 MJ

c) The Potential Energy change is 968.907 MJ

Explanation:

Let 'm' be the mass of the satellite , 'M'(6×10^{24} be the mass of earth , 'R'(6400 Km) be the radius of the earth , 'h' be the altitude of the satellite and 'G' (6.67×10^{-11} N/m) be the universal constant of gravitation.

We know that the orbital velocity(v) for a satellite -

v=\sqrt{\frac{Gmm}{R+h} }         [(R+h) is the distance of the satellite   from the center of the earth ]

Total Energy(E) = Kinetic Energy(KE) + Potential Energy(PE)

For initial conditions ,

h = h_{i} = 98 km = 98000 m

∴Initial Energy (E_{i})  = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + \frac{-GMm}{(R+h_{i} )}

Substituting v=\sqrt{\frac{GMm}{R+h_{i} } } in the above equation and simplifying we get,

E_{i} = \frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{i}) }

Similarly for final condition,

h=h_{f} = 198km = 198000 m

∴Final Energy(E_{f}) = \frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{f}) }

a) The energy that should be added should be the difference in the energy of initial and final states -

∴ ΔE = E_{f} - E_{i}

        = \frac{GMm}{2}(\frac{1}{R+h_{i} } - \frac{1}{R+h_{f} })

Substituting ,

M = 6 × 10^{24} kg

m = 1036 kg

G = 6.67 × 10^{-11}

R = 6400000 m

h_{i} = 98000 m

h_{f} = 198000 m

We get ,

ΔE = 484.438 MJ

b) Change in Kinetic Energy (ΔKE) = \frac{1}{2}m[v_{f} ^{2} - v_{i} ^{2}]

                                                          = \frac{GMm}{2}[\frac{1} {R+h_{f} } - \frac{1} {R+h_{i} }]

                                                          = -ΔE                                                            

                                                          = - 484.438 MJ

c)  Change in Potential Energy (ΔPE) = GMm[\frac{1}{R+h_{i} } - \frac{1}{R+h_{f} }]

                                                             = 2ΔE

                                                             = 968.907 MJ

Early black-and-white television sets used an electron beam to draw a picture on the screen. The electrons in the beam were acce
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

speed of electrons = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 3 kV

magnetic field = 0.66 T

solution

law of conservation of energy

PE = KE

qV = 0.5 × m × v²

v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

v = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

and

magnetic force on particle movie in magnetic field

F = Bqv

ma = Bqv

a = \frac{Bqv}{m}  

a =  \frac{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.82 × 10^{18} m/s²

and acceleration in term g

a = \frac{3.82\times 10^{18}}{9.81}  

a = 3.9 × 10^{17} g

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

and

electron moving in circular orbit has centripetal force

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}  

r = \frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}  

r = 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th
Ket [755]

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²
