What is weight in physics?
Weight is gravity's effect on mass. That is why weight is not generally used in science, because it varies slightly at different places on Earth, and differs tremendously on other celestial bodies and is zero in space. Mass is a constant.
Can instantaneous speed be negative?
Velocity refers to the rate of change in distance of an object, and also the direction of the change, where speed just refers to the rate of change without regard to the direction, so if the object moved at all, it would have an average speed greater than zero, so No.
In physics, zero on the Kelvin scale is also known by which term?
Rankine
Why is no work being done on books on shelf physics?
Work = force x distance. With a distance of zero, the work will also be zero.
Where can you find Prentice hall physics answers?
can a body have zero velocity and still be accelerating

Can a mass be zero outside the earth?
Universality is a fundamental principle in physics - the same laws of physics apply everywhere at all times. So if the mass of something on earth is zero (such as the rest mass of a photon), then the mass will be zero everywhere in the universe, disregarding the effects of relativistic mass. Do not confuse mass with weight - mass is invariable - it is the same everywhere. Weight, however, diminishes in proportion to the square of the distance you travel away from the center of planet earth.
Where is the term zero used in physics?
In most cases, physics deals with finite quantities rather than zero, but zero does come up at times. The start of an event can be measured as zero hour. A superconductor has zero electrical resistance. There are doubtlessly other cases as well. Zero is a useful concept.
What is the average weight of a shed?
The shed is of zero mass and zero weight

Zero Fuel Weight on a airplane?
The operating weight plus (+) the cargo weight equals (=) the zero fuel weight.
Can a body have zero mass and zero weight?
no

Work = force x distance. With a distance of zero, the work will also be zero.
What is the definition of weight in relation to physics?
"Weight" refers to the force of gravity acting on an object.
When are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different notions in a correct physics terminology.
How many Weight Watchers points in an apple?
