Why do scientists measure and record mass instead of weight

2 answers:

8 0

The mass of our body remains constant everywhere...let it be on moon, sun or jupiter whereas weight changes everytime the gravitational force of a place changes. For example: if we are on moon, our mass is the same as in earth but our weight is 1/6 of the one on earth. To find our weight, knowing our mass is essential. So, mass is easier to find than weight. We must know that mass and weight are complete different things.

Mass is easier to get than the weight. weight is something that can change on the spot.<span />

Calculează masa zaharului si volumul apei necesare pentru prepararea 500g de soluție de zahăr cu partea de masa 20%

Sedbober [7]

T = 20 % : 20 / 100 = 0.2

m1 = solute

m2 = Solvent

T = m1 / m1 + m2

0.2 = 500 g / 500 g + m2

0.2 * ( 500 + m2 ) = 500

0.2 * 500 + 0.2 m2 = 500

100 + 0.2 m2 = 500

0.2 m2 = 500 - 100

0.2 m2 = 400

m2 = 400 / 0.2

m2 = 2000 g of water

hope this helps!

A 15.0 g sample of nickel metal is heated to 100.0 degrees C and dropped into 55.0 g of water, initially at 23.0 degrees C. Assu

OLEGan [10]

Answer: The final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of water, m = 55.0 g,

Initial temp, $(t_{i}) = 23^{o}C$ ,

Final temp, $(t_{f})$ = ?,

Specific heat of water = 4.184 $J/g^{o}C$ ,

Now, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$

Also,

mass of Ni, m = 15.0 g,

Initial temperature, $t_{i} = 100^{o}C$ ,

Final temperature, $t_{f}$ = ?

Specific heat of nickel = 0.444 $J/g^{o}C$

Hence, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$

Therefore, heat energy lost by the alloy is equal to the heat energy gained by the water.

$q_{water}(gain) = -q_{alloy}(lost)$

$55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$ = -( $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$ )

$t_{f} = \frac{25.9^{o}C}{1.029}$

= $25.2^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

PLEASE HRLP IM BEGING TIMED: science

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: If two positive charges interact, their forces are directed against each other. The two charges repel each other.

Explanation: The same occurs with two negative charges, because their respective forces also act in opposite directions.) The electric field and resulting forces produced by two electrical charges of the same polarity.

Good luck luv.
