<u>Mass</u>

  • Mass is measured in kilograms.
  • Mass does not change when gravity changes.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

  • Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
  • Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
  • Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
  • Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

A 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft box weighs 100 pounds, and the weight is evenly distributed. What is the magnitude of the minimum horizonta
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the force required be F . It is applied at the top of the box . The box is likely to turn about a corner . Torque of this force about this corner

= F x 2

This torque will try to turn the box . On the other hand the weight which is acting at CM will create a torque about the same corner . This torque will try to prevent the box to turn around the corner.

This torque of weight

= 100 x 1

= 100 pound ft.

For equilibrium

Torque of F = torque of weight.

F x 2  = 100

F = 50 pounds .

Who ever answers all these questions they"ll get brain list How exactly did life begin? ... Why do we dream? ... Is there a patt
Ronch [10]

Answer: 1.

<em>The earliest known life-forms are putative fossilized microorganisms, found in hydrothermal vent precipitates, that may have lived as early as 4.28 Gya (billion years ago), relatively soon after the oceans formed 4.41 Gya, and not long after the formation of the Earth 4.54 Gya.</em>

<em>2.There are many theories about why we dream, but no one knows for sure. Some researchers say dreams have no purpose or meaning. Others say we need dreams for our mental, emotional, and physical health. or</em>

<em>Most dreaming occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which we cycle through periodically during the night. Sleep studies show our brainwaves are almost as active during REM cycles as they are when we're awake. Experts believe the brainstem generates REM sleep and the forebrain generates dreams.</em>

3.A clear rule determines exactly what makes a prime: it's a whole number that can't be exactly divided by anything except 1 and itself. But there's no discernable pattern in the occurrence of the primes. ... That's because after the number 5, there are only four possibilities — 1, 3, 7 and 9 — for prime last digits

4.There are no cures for any kinds of cancer, but there are treatments that may cure you. Many people are treated for cancer, live out the rest of their life, and die of other causes. Many others are treated for cancer and still die from it, although treatment may give them more time: even years or decades.

5.humans can't hop into a time machine and go back in time,

6.Our universe may be one of many, physicists say. The universe we live in may not be the only one out there. In fact, our universe could be just one of an infinite number of universes making up a "multiverse." Though the concept may stretch credulity, there's good physics behind it.

7.Consciousness is everything you experience. It is the tune stuck in your head, the sweetness of chocolate mousse, the throbbing pain of a toothache, the fierce love for your child and the bitter knowledge that eventually all feelings will end.

The four terrestrial planets are so called because they ?
velikii [3]
Well, you need no look further than the word "terrestrial" If you notice the beginning of the word you notice that it consists mostly of the word "terra" Terra by definition is just land. Due to the solid land of these 4 planets, they're called terrestrial planets, the other 4 aren't made of land but of gas which is why they aren't classified as terrestrial planets.
