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.

Answer:

$5.33\ m/s$

Explanation:

$We\ know\ that,\\Momentum=Mass*Velocity\\p=mv\\Hence,\\Lets\ first\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5*0.2=1\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=2\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*2=0.6\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision'=1+0.6=1.6\ kg\ m/s$

$Hence,\\Lets\ now\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'After\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=v\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'After\ Collision'=0+0.3v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s$

$As\ we\ know\ that,\\Through\ the\ law\ of\ conservation\ of\ momentum,\\In\ an\ isolated\ system:\\Total\ Momentum\ Before\ Collision=Total\ Momentum\ After\ Collision\\Hence,\\1.6=0.3v\\v=\frac{1.6}{0.3}=5.33\ m/s$

Use this table of a school bus during morning pickups to calculate its average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h.

Gelneren [198K]

The average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h is 6.97 Km/h

Average speed is defined as the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken to cover the distance.

$Average \: speed = \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time} \\ \\$

With the above formula, we can obtain the average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h as illustrated below:

Total time = 2.340 – 0 = 2.340 h
Total distance = 16.3 – 0 = 16.3 Km
Average speed =?

$Average \: speed = \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time} \\ \\Average \: speed = \frac{16.3}{2.340} \\ \\ Average \: speed = 6.97 \: Km/h \\ \\$

An alternator provides 20 A of peak current at 100 V peak AC to a resistive electric heater. How much heating power is delivered

Liono4ka [1.6K]

-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 . For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>

what is the force of friction between an 80kg box and the ground on Earth if the coefficient is 0.2?

Reil [10]

Answer:

160N

Explanation: When 80kg mass is one group . It's reaction force acting on a ground.

Weight of the object = 80*10

= 800 N

Here we are given cofficient of static friction its 0.2. It should be smaller than 1

Friction force = Reaction * Friction Cofficient

Reaction = 800N ( Considering Vertical Equilibrium )

F = 800* 0.2

F = 160N
