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.

The measure of the energy of motion of particles of matter?
bekas [8.4K]
Mechanical energy is the top because it has two types.
These two types are:
Kinetic energy - which is the energy in motion and potential energy which is the energy in reserve.
Both energy in motion and reserve is called Joules. Joules is the International System of Measurement unit for energy, this is mainly used for scaling energy in all aspects.

Where does the heat come from that drives this convection current in the mantle
marta [7]

Answer:

Earth's interior (Core)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of 3 distinct layers namely the Core, the Mantle and the Crust, which are divided based on their composition as well as density.

The core of the earth is extremely very hot where the inner core remains solid and outer core acts a liquid. It is mainly comprised of iron, nickel and other siderophile elements.

A large amount of heat (energy) is radiated from this core region towards the surface of the earth. Due to this, the mantle rocks forms magma that creates the convection currents, where the hot and less dense magma rises upward and the cool and denser magma sinks to the bottom. This occurs continuously, as a result of which the lithospheric plates are forced to move over the less dense layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the heat energy that drives the convection current in the mantle is provided from the interior (core) of the earth.

6.6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to theright along a horizontal, frictionless surfaceby a constant, horizontal force of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

v = 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block, M = 6.6 Kg

horizontal force, F = 12.2 N

distance, L = 2.5 m

initial speed  = 0 m/s

speed of the block,v = ?

we now

Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy.

Work done = Force x displacement

W = Δ K E

Δ K E = Force x displacement

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2= F .s

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.6 \times v^2 - 0= 12.2\times 2.5

 3.3 v² = 30.5

     v² = 9.242

      v = 3.04 m/s

speed of the block is equal to 3.04 m/s
