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

Physics

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 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}$

Energy

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})$

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Where:

$m_{1}$ , $m_{2}$ - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1,o}$ , $v_{2,o}$ - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If $m_{1} = 0.400\,kg$ , $m_{2} = 0.900\,kg$ , $v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the system of equation is simplified as follows:

$2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Let is clear $v_{1,f}$ in first equation:

$0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}$

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0$

There are two solutions:

$v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ or $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: ( $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)$

$v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I= $\frac{P_{avg}}{A}$

I= $\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}$

I= $7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}$

Amplitude of induced emf

= $E_{max}d$

= $\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75$

= $17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v$

The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pres

12345 [234]

Answer:0.0704 kg

Explanation:

Given

initial Absolute pressure $(P_1)$ =210+101.325=311.325

$T_1=25^{\circ}\approx 298 K$

$V=0.025 m^3$

$T_2=50^{\circ}\approx 323 K$

as the volume remains constant therefore

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{311.325}{298}=\frac{P_2}{323}$

$P_2=337.44 KPa$

therefore Gauge pressure is 337.44-101.325=236.117 KPa

Initial mass $m_1=\frac{P_1V}{RT_1}=\frac{311.325\times 0.025}{0.0287\times 298}$

$m_1=0.91 kg$

Final mass $m_2=\frac{P_2V}{RT_2}=\frac{311.325\times 0.025}{0.0287\times 323}$

$m_2=0.839$

Therefore $m_1-m_2$ =0.91-0.839=0.0704 kg of air needs to be removed to get initial pressure back
