There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measuredin kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth

Mass is the matter in a material, while weight is the measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

4 facts about relative dating?
sasho [114]
Relative dating is used to arrange geological events….

Relative dating puts geologic events in chronological order without requiring that a specific numerical age be assigned to each event….

Relative Dating uses the half life of isotopes to get the exact age of a rock or mineral.

At a place where an object is thrown vertically downward with a speed of while a different object is thrown vertically upward wi
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Both objects will undergo the same change in velocity

Explanation:

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of object

Any object which is falling has only the acceleration due to gravity.

ma=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.81364\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81364 m/s²

So, the speeds of the objects will change at an equal rate of 9.81364 m/s² but the change will be negative when an object is thrown up.

Hence, both objects will undergo the same change in velocity.

A basketball is tossed up at an initial speed of 20 m/s.
qwelly [4]

Gravity slows the upward speed of any rising object by 9.8 m/s every second.

If the ball is tossed upward at 20 m/s, then it's at the top of its arc and its speed has dwindled to zero in (20/9.8) = 2.04 seconds.

During that time, its starting speed is 20 m/s and its ending speed is zero, so its AVERAGE speed all the way up is (1/2) (20 + 0)  =  10 m/s .

Sailing upward for 2.04 seconds at an average speed of 10 m/s, the ball rises to (2.04 x 10)  =  <em>20.4 meters.</em>
