The mass affects the efficiency of an object. It adds more weight, which causes more friction. More friction=less efficiency

How does efficiency depend on mass and why is it like that?

Efficiency generally decreases as mass increases due to the additional energy required to move the larger mass. More mass means more work is needed to accelerate or decelerate it, resulting in a decrease in efficiency. This relationship exists because a heavier object has more inertia and requires more force to move it, leading to decreased overall efficiency.


How do you find efficiency?

Structural Efficiency= Maximum Mass Supported _______________________ (Divided By) Mass of Structure


Which of these has the most effect on an objects inertia?

The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and this resistance is directly proportional to the object's mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.


Does an increase in velocity or an increase in mass have a greater effect on momentum?

An increase in velocity has a greater effect on momentum than an increase in mass. This is because momentum is directly proportional to velocity, while mass only has an indirect effect on momentum through its influence on velocity.


Which variables must be controlled when determining the effect of mass on the period of the pendulum?

When determining the effect of mass on the period of a pendulum, you must control the length of the pendulum and the angle at which it is released. By keeping these variables constant, you can isolate the effect of mass on the period of the pendulum for a more accurate comparison.
