Mass and weight are similar but not the same thing. In which of the following examples would the objects weight change, but made stay the same? An astronaut travels from the earth to the moon

A child grows taller

An overweight person goes on a diet

A snowball rolls downhill and picks up snow making it grow

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

we know that , weight of an object is given as

W = mg

where W = weight  , m = mass of the object  and g = acceleration due to gravity at that place.


An astronaut travels from the earth to the moon :

as the astronaut travels from the earth to the moon, the mass of astronaut stays the same but the weight change as acceleration due to gravity change since acceleration due to gravity on moon is only 1/6 times that on earth.


A child grows taller :

as child grows taller , he gains body mass . hence both mass and weight change.


An overweight person goes on a diet :

as an overweight person goes on diet , he loose body mass . hence both mass and weight change.


A snowball rolls downhill and picks up snow making it grow :

As snowball rolls downhill , it gains snow, hence its mass and in turn the weight change.

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor isa. constant
b. variable

Answers

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is  constant.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Ohm's law defines that an electric current flowing through the conductor between two ends is directly proportionate to the voltage at these two points. The introduction of a constant proportionality, resistance, gives a simple mathematical equation describing this relationship. Particularly, Ohm's law also mentions that R is constant in this respect, i.e. not dependent on the current.

                                            I=(V)/(R)

Where,  

I is the current conduction in amperes

V is the voltage calculated by the conductor in volts

R is the conductor’s resistance in ohms.

Answer:

Ohm's law states that the ratio of voltage (potential) to current is a constant in a conductor.

The answer has the be the fourth option "the object is not accelerating." By looking at the graph you would see the the velocity is constant meaning it staying the same and its not increasing or decreasing which takes out the first, second, and third option. So, since how the velocity is not increasing the object is not accelerating or the fourth option.

Hope this helps!

sense the time shown is increasing but the velocity is neither increasing or decreasing then the answer would have to be D.

Vince is baking a cake. He pours flour and sugar into an empty bowl. The substance in the bowl is a(n) __________.a)atom.
b)element
c)mixture.
d)compound.

Answers

Answer: c) mixture.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest entity of any substance which consists of subatomic particles called as neutrons, protons and electrons.

An element is a pure substance which is  composed of atoms of similar elements. Example: H_2  

Mixture is  formed when atoms of similar or different elements are mixed in no fixed ratio without any chemical combination.

A compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.  Example: H_2O

It is 'C', a mixture, because flour and sugar are both a compound.

Why is a car rounding a curve accelerating, even if it is moving at a constant speed?

Answers

Because "acceleration" does NOT mean "speeding up". It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion. Speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction are all 'accelerations'. If a car is not moving in a straight line, then its direction is changing and it is accelerating, even if its speed is constant.
Automobile speedometers give an instantaneous velocity. It is important to remember that because the velocity has a direction, a change in either the speed or the direction results in a change in velocity. This leads to an interesting fact, a car going around a curve can have a constant speed and yet still have a changing velocity. The car in the following diagram is traveling around a curve. Suppose the driver looks at his speedometer when the car is at points "A", "B", and "C". At each of these points he notices that the speedometer reads 30km/h. His speed is a constant 30km/h as he rounds the curve. Now look at what is happening to his direction of motion. As he goes around the curve, his direction changes from East to South. Because of this change in direction, we have to conclude that his velocity is changing even though his speed is constant.
