Yes. If the masses are the same, then it can be considered as a constant and thus neglected.

If friction is neglected when they reach the ground both masses have the same?

Acceleration due to gravity, so they will hit the ground at the same time regardless of their mass.


Why can way consider the weight of the hooked masses as equal to the centripetal forces?

The weight of the masses provides the force necessary to keep the masses moving in a circular path, which is the centripetal force. This is due to the tension in the string providing the centripetal force required for circular motion, balancing out the weight of the masses. Thus, one can consider the weight of the hooked masses as equal to the centripetal force in this setup.


Does the ratio of the distances equal to the ratio of the masses in each of the cases?

Yes, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the ratio of the distances between two masses is equal to the ratio of the masses. This relationship holds true for gravitational forces acting between any two objects.


Equal volumes always mean equal masses?

Not necessarily. Equal volumes do not always mean equal masses because different substances have different densities. Denser substances will have more mass in a given volume compared to less dense substances.


Two ice skaters initially at rest have pushed off each other and are moving in opposite directions with equal speeds. What is known about their masses?

Their masses are equal. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system will remain constant before and after the push-off. Since the two ice skaters have equal and opposite momenta after the push-off, their masses must be equal in order to fulfill this conservation law.

What can you say about inertia of object of equal masses?

Equal masses will have equal inertia.


If masses are equal where does their center of mass lie.?

If the masses are equal, the center of mass lies exactly in the middle between the two masses. This is because the center of mass is a point that balances the masses, and with equal masses, the balance point is at the midpoint.


What are the two sub atomic particles which have relativel equal masses?

Protons and neutrons have relatively equal masses. Electrons have a much smaller mass than the others.

Is density the volume of equal masses of substances?

yes


Why isn't electron and positron mass equal?

Their masses are equal. It's their charges that are opposite.


If two solids have the same masses and different volumes do they have different or equal densities?

different equal


Two masses fall 3 meters to the ground. If friction is neglected when do they reach the ground?

both masses have the same speed. The acceleration of objects in freefall is independent of mass, resulting in the same speed at the end of a fall. The momentum and energy are proportional to the mass.


Is an equal-arm balance used to measure mass?

in a gravity field it can find 2 equal masses
