Explain the difference between mass and weight and how they are measured.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Mass is a measure of how much force it will take to change that path. Mass depends on how much matter – atoms and so on – there is in an object; more mass means more inertia, as there is more to get moving. ... Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of downwards force that gravity exerts on an object

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, $m_{1}$ =21 kg

distance travelled is $d_{1}$ = 140 cm

When mass, $m_{2}$ =5 kg

distance travelled is $d_{2}$ = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

$\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}$

$\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}$

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.
