the mass of an object is a) equal to its weight on the surface of the earth. b) sometimes equal to its weight. c) never equal to its weight. d) equal to its weight in deep space.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

a) equal to its weight on the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains and is typically expressed in kilograms (kg) or grams (g). Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The weight of an object depends on the strength of the gravitational field it's in. On the surface of the Earth, where the gravitational field is relatively constant, an object's weight is directly proportional to its mass, and the two are equal. This relationship is described by the equation:

Weight (W) = Mass (m) x Acceleration Due to Gravity (g)

On the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s². Therefore, an object's weight is equal to its mass times 9.8 m/s².

So, on the surface of the Earth, the mass of an object is equal to its weight. In deep space, where there is negligible gravitational force, an object's weight would be nearly zero, but its mass remains the same.

Before we can use parallax to measure the distance to a nearby star, we first need to know:?a. the distance to the nearest star besides the Sun
b. the month in which the star is observed
c. the Earth-Sun distance
d. the Sun's mass

Answers

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "c. the Earth-Sun distance." Before we can use parallax to measure the distance to a nearby star, we first need to know the Earth-Sun distance. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". Astronomers normally use parallax for measuring the distances of the stars that are nearby.

Being the planet closest to the sun, Mercury must be the one
with the shortest year.  That's how gravity works.

How did Rutherford change the model of the atom? A.
He used an experiment with gold foil to prove that an atom had a positive nucleus in the middle and was surrounded by negative electrons.

B.
He used thought problems to determine that matter could be divided into smaller pieces until it got to the atomic level.

C.
He used an experiment with Cathode Ray tubes to prove electrons existed when they changed the color of a gas.

D.
He used various experiments to prove that atoms of the same element have the same mass.

Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.

Answers

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

 

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

 

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

 

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

 

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

on a small planet, an astronaut uses a vertical force of 175 newton to lift an 87.5 kg boulder at constant velocity to height of 0.350 meter above the planet's surface. What is the magnitude of the gravitation field strenght on the surface of the planet

Answers


                                                         Weight =  (mass)  x  (gravity)

                                                          175 N  =  (87.5 kg) x (gravity)

Divide each side by  87.5 kg :      Gravity = (175 N) / (87.5 kg)

                                                                      =  2 m/s²

We don't care how far he lifted it.

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?

Answers

Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time
