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.

An energy source forces a constant current of 2A to flow through a light bulbfilament for twenty seconds. If 4.6 kJ is given off
QveST [7]

Answer:

The voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V

Explanation:

The voltage drop equation is given by:

V=\frac{\Delta W}{\Delta q}

Where:

ΔW is the total work done (4.6kJ)

Δq is the total charge

We need to use the definition of electric current to find Δq

I=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}

Where:

I is the current (2 A)

Δt is the time (20 s)

2=\frac{\Delta q}{20}

q=40 C

Then, we can put this value of charge in the voltage equation.

V=\frac{4600}{40}=115 V

Therefore, the voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V.

I hope it helps you!

A light ray moving at a 54.3 deg
MrMuchimi

Answer:

45.25^{\circ}

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

d =B-A

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

d = A-A = 0

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)
