What are the units of mass and weight

Physics

DENIUS [597]3 years ago

Answer:Because mass and weight are separate quantities, they have different units of measure. In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the basic unit of mass, and the newton is the basic unit of force. The non-SI kilogram-force is also a unit of force typically used in the measure of weight.

Answer:

Mass = Measure of Matter (amount of 'stuff').

  • Grams, Kilograms, Milligrams, etc
  • Invariant (unchanging) to environment.

Weight = Measure of Gravitational Effect (force of mass against gravity)

  • Newtons, pounds (when referring to relative weight on a planet)
  • Variant to environment.

Explanation:

Though the theories for both units are incomplete, their distinction lies primarily in use: mass is a scalar that represents innate property. Weight is a vector that represents the effects of spacetime on an object or space.

Grade 12 math: vectors as forces?

Larger tug force = 2*cos20 forward + 2*sin20 to the right (starboard) 
<span>Smaller tug force = 1*cos15 forward + 1*sin15 to the left (port) </span>

<span>Resultant force forward = 2*cos20 + 1*cos15 = 2.8453 (4dp) </span>
<span>Resultant force to right = 2*sin20 - 1*sin15 = 0.4252 (4dp) </span>

<span>Angle of resultant force = arctan(0.4252 / 2.8453) = arctan(0.1494) = 8.5 degrees</span>

g According to the Third Law, the action and reaction forces are exactly equal in magnitude and in opposite directions. So when
torisob [31]

Answer:

One way to look at this is to consider the forces acting on any point in a string.

For a very small portion of string F = M a must still hold. As M approaches zero the small portion of string would have to approach infinite acceleration if the net force on that portion of string were not zero.

One generally considers the net force acting on the center of mass of an object not  the individual forces acting on each infinitesimal mass composing

the object.
