hi what is weight?

Question

what is your name

Answer 1

In scientific usage weight and mass are quite different quantities: mass is an intrinsic property of matter, whereas weight is a force that results from the action of gravity on matter. (Scientific terms such as "atomic weight", "molecular weight", and "formula weight" are still encountered, but some discouraged these terms and terms like atomic mass are preferred.)

In everyday usage, however, weight and mass are usually not different. For instance, when we buy or sell goods "by weight", we are primarily interested in the amount of goods exchanged (the mass), not how hard they press down on the table (the weight). Similarly, in measurements of body weight we are primarily interested in the amount of tissue (fat, muscle, etc.) present. We may also say, for example, that an object "weighs one kilogram".

The gravitational force exerted on an object is directly proportional to its mass, so a mass of x kilograms always weighs x times as much as a mass of one kilogram. Weight can therefore stand as a proxy for mass, and vice versa.

The distinction between mass and force due to gravity becomes obvious when we move away from the earth's surface. For example, on the surface of the Moon gravity is only about one sixth as strong as on the surface of the earth. A one kilogram mass is still a one kilogram mass – mass is an intrinsic property of the object. However, the weight of the object – the downwards force due to gravity – is only one sixth of what it is at the surface of the earth; that is, only one sixth of what we would expect one kilogram to weigh.

Although gravity at the earth's surface is nearly constant, it does vary slightly with location, which means that objects do in fact have slightly different weights in different places. For further information see acceleration due to gravity, Physical geodesy, Gravity anomaly and Gravity.

i got here upon the e book to be very informative and easy to study. i have lost 17 pounds in 12 days, i'm purely worried that i'm dropping too a lot weight, too immediately. i am going to admit i have not followed the practise guide precisely. i'm no longer sticking completely to the listed meals and meal plans (yet usually) and doing little or no workout, in spite of the indisputable fact that the burden keeps flying off. It obviously works and if i'd followed it precisely i imagine it may scare the living daylights out of me by using quantity that i'd lose. So thanks back for the information. i have under no circumstances offered some thing like this before because they're commonly finished of trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful marvel. start up today!

Weight is the force exerted upon an object by virtue of its position in a gravitational field. It is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the magnitude of the gravitational field. The word weight entered Old English sometime aroud the 9th century, and meant the quantity measured with a balance.

Given a set S of complex matrices, each of which is diagonalizable and any two of which commute under multiplication, it is always possible to diagonalize all the elements of S simultaneously. In basis-free terms, for any set of mutually commuting semisimple operators on a finite-dimensional complex vector space V there exists a basis of V consisting of simultaneous eigenvectors of all elements of S. ...
