Answer: Weight only.

Explanation: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on the material in a gravitational field. Mass and weight are proportional to each other, with the acceleration due to gravity as the proportionality constant.

If a rock is transported from the moon to the earth, the mass is constant for the object but the weight will depends on the locations of the object. The gravitational acceleration would change because the radius and mass of the Moon is different from the Earth.

Thus, the object (rock) has <em>mass, m</em> both on the surface of the Earth and the surface of the Moon; but it will <em>weight</em> much less on the surface of the Moon as the Moon's surface gravity is 1/6 of the Earth.

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = \frac{4m}{2} x^2  + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2

T = 4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = -4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = 4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

A long-distance swimmer is able to swim through still water at 4.0 km/h. She wishes to try to swim from Port Angeles, Washington
Roman55 [17]

Let \theta be the direction the swimmer must swim relative to east. Then her velocity relative to the water is

\vec v_{S/W}=\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)

The current has velocity vector (relative to the Earth)

\vec v_{W/E}=\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath

The swimmer's resultant velocity (her velocity relative to the Earth) is then

\vec v_{S/E}=\vec v_{S/W}+\vec v_{W/E}

\vec v_{S/E}=\left(\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath

We want the resultant vector to be pointing straight north, which means its horizontal component must be 0:

\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}=0\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac{3.0}{4.0}\implies\theta\approx138.59^\circ

which is approximately 41º west of north.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

Two identical metal balls are rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with speed V. Each ball encounters a hill ('tw
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The angular velocity of Ball A will be greater than the angular velocity of Ball B when they reach the top of the hill.

Explanation:

Angular velocity can be defined as how fast an object rotates relative to a given point or frame of reference.

The question said the hill encountered by Ball A is frictionless, so Ball A will continue to rotate at the same rate it started with even when it reached the top of the hill.

Ball B on the other hand rolls without slipping over its hill, i.e there's friction to slow down its rotational motion which thus reduces how fast Ball B will rotate at the top of the hill
