The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it whereas mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. The SI unit of weight is Newton whereas the SI unit of mass is Kilogram.

No idea about weightless maybe the objects not apparently acted on by gravity.

You break a piece of Styro foam packing material, and it releases lots of little spheres whose electric charge makes them stick
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The magnitude of charge on each sphere is q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force of repulsion between the charges, F = 22 mN

The distance between spheres, r = 16 mm = 0.016 m

It is mentioned that both the spheres carry equal charges. The force between charges is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{22\times 10^{-3}\times (0.016)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C

So, the magnitude of charge on each sphere is q=2.50\times 10^{-8}\ C. Hence, this is the required solution.

significant figures are digits read directly from measuring instrument plus one more digit, which is ______ by the observer
Kay [80]
Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.
