Answer:
[Speed] or [Velocity (if there is a direction)]
Answer: Mass is the quantity of matter in an object whereas weight is the force of gravity on an object.
Weight is dependent on gravity while mass is independent on gravity
Explanation:
The first thing that needs to be done is to find everything in the same units. 12 hours becomes 43200 seconds. Then find the distance traveled by light in that amount of time. Using the formula v=d/s, manipulate it so it looks like d=v*s. Then plug in the values: d=(3x10^8)*43200, d=1.3x10^13m. But you need to find this in kilometers. To do this, simply divide your answer by one thousand. Thus, a laser beam would travel 1.3x10^10 kilometers in 12 hours.
Answer:
The weight of an object is the force on it caused by the gravity due to the planet. The weight of an object and the gravitational field strength are directly proportional. For a given mass, the greater the gravitational field strength of the planet, the greater its weight.
Weight can be calculated using the equation:
weight = mass × gravitational field strength
This is when:
weight (W) is measured in newtons (N)
mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg)
gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)
Answer:
2.0 m/s/s
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.
Mathematically, it is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.
For the runner in this problem, we have:
u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)
v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity
t = 4.0 s is the time taken
Substituting, we find
