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.

What is the charge on an object that has 1.09x10^13 excess electrons?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

-1.74\cdot 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

The electron is the particle that rotates around the nucleus of the atom; it has a negative electric charge equal to :

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

which is known as fundamental charge.

For an object containing N excess electrons, the total charge of the object is

Q=Ne

In this problem, the number of excess electrons in the object is:

N=1.09\cdot 10^{13}

Therefore, by plugging it the numbers, we can find the value of Q, the total charge of the object:

Q=(1.09\cdot 10^{13})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})=-1.74\cdot 10^{-6} C

Gravitational potential energy = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x height (m)

Therefore, 

3 x 0.45 x 10 = 13.5J <- it's joules because it's energy

Suppose you lived in the crater copernicus on the side of the moon facing the earth. during what fraction of the time would you
Nat2105 [25]

The phase of the moon facing the Earth is always the same, which means that the speed of rotation of the moon and the Earth are the same. Because of which the other part of the moon is not visible to the people on Earth.
