What is the difference between weight and mass? mass and weight are both intrinsic properties of an object. if you multiply the

mass of an object by the acceleration due to gravity, you will obtain the object's weight. mass is an intrinsic property of matter, a measure of how much an object resists being accelerated. weight, on the other hand, is the force with which gravity pulls on an object. it is equal to the object's mass times the acceleration due to gravity?

A puck of mass 0.70 kg approaches a second, identical puck that is stationary on frictionless ice. The initial speed of the movi
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

  • v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}
  • v_2 =  3 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to remember conservation of momentum, as there are no external forces in the horizontal direction:

\vec{p}_i = \vec{p}_f

where the suffix i  means initial, and the suffix f means final.

The initial momentum will be:

\vec{p}_i = m_1 \ \vec{v}_{1_i} + m_2 \ \vec{v}_{2_i}

as the second puck is initially at rest:

\vec{v}_{2_i} = 0

Using the unit vector \vec{i} pointing in the original line of motion:

\vec{v}_{1_i} = 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \hat{i}

\vec{p}_i = 0.70 \ kg  \ 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \ \hat{i} + 0.70 \ kg \ 0

\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

So:

\vec{p}_i =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = \vec{p}_f

\vec{p}_f =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\ \vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

So, our velocity vectors will be:

\vec{v}_{1_f} = v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )

\vec{v}_{2_f} = v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

We got

\vec{p}_f = 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{1_f} + 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{2_f}

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )  + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

So, we got the equations:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  cos(-60 \°)

and

0  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  sin(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°).

From the last one, we get:

0  = 0.7 \ kg \  ( v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°) )

0  =  v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1 \  sin(30 \°) = -  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1  =  \ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

and, for the first one:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg  \ (  v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°) )

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} =    (\ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2     (\   \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) +   cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2  * 2

so:

v_2 = 6 \ \frac{m}{s} / 2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}

and

v_1  =  \ 3 \frac{m}{s}  \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.
sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

A current cannot produce a magnetic field. *<br><br> True or false
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False, as a magnetic field is generated whenever current travels through a conductor.

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bar of iron. The coil and iron bar get magnetized when electric current flows through the wire. An electromagnet also has north and south magnetic poles. The magnetic field is strongest at either pole of the magnet.
