2) Weight & Mass : what is the difference between the two? What does it mean to be weightless

Physics

Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??
kap26 [50]

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys ​for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley

It will possibly be A) chemical b/c it can make a sound like when the bar hits the ball it makes a sound correct?! and also it created heat especially when it hits the ball. and when the ball MOVES and the bar HITS it creates kinetic energy, but when you hit the ball it doesn’t create a new substance.

dexar [7]

A car of mass 1535 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car <u>20kmh</u>

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

A collision in physics is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions:

  • Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.
  • Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.

A simple pendulum of length of 1.37 m and mass of 6.66 kg is given an initial speed of 2.85 m/s at its equilibrium position. Det
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2.35 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is expressed as;

                                T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where

T is the period in seconds

L is the length in metres

g is acceleration due to gravity

                                 T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{1.37}{9.8}}

                                 T = 2.349 s

                                 T = 2.35 s
