    F=ma Mass
In summary, the validity of f=ma is dependent on the frame of reference, as Newton's laws are only obeyed in inertial frames. In an accelerated frame, these laws do not hold. Regarding the mass of objects at different temperatures, according to E=mc2, mass and energy are two different forms of the same thing. Therefore, a hot frying pan may have more energy or mass compared to a cold frying pan.

help pleeeese~~ (validity of f=ma, mass of diff.temp objects)

:cry: please help me~ desperate...

1. is f=ma valid in all situations? explain your reasons~
2. is the mass of a hot frying pan different from a cold frying pan? why?

thank you~~~

Newtons laws are obeyed only in inertial frames.In an accelarated frame they are not obeyed.
For simplicity consider u are traveling in a trian with an accelaratin a. If u look a tree outside u will find that tree is also accelerating wrt u. But no force is acting on the tree. So F = ma is not valid.

Consider the second question,

When we saz E= mc2 we mean that mass and energy are two diff forms of same thing. U can say that frying pan has more energy or more mass than ordinary one.

kiwikiwi: I see you've asked a number of questions, all of which look like verbatim from a textbook. Please read the sticky at the top of this homework forum.

What is the validity of the equation f=ma?

The equation f=ma, also known as Newton's second law of motion, is a fundamental principle in physics. It states that the force (f) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a). This equation has been extensively tested and validated through experiments and has been widely accepted as a fundamental law of classical mechanics.

How do you determine the mass of objects with different temperatures?

The mass of an object is an intrinsic property that is independent of temperature. Therefore, the mass of an object with a different temperature can be determined using the same methods as for objects with the same temperature. This can be done by measuring the object's weight using a scale or by calculating its density using its volume and weight.

Does the mass of an object change with temperature?

The mass of an object does not change with temperature. However, the weight of an object can change with temperature due to the effects of thermal expansion or contraction. This is because the density of a substance changes with temperature, which in turn affects its weight. But the mass of the object remains constant.

Can the equation f=ma be applied to all objects?

The equation f=ma can be applied to all objects that have mass and experience acceleration. This includes both stationary and moving objects. However, it should be noted that this equation is a simplified version of the more general equation, which takes into account the effects of relativistic speeds and non-uniform acceleration.

How does the equation f=ma relate to everyday life?

The equation f=ma is applicable to many aspects of everyday life. It explains how objects move and interact with each other, which is essential in understanding phenomena such as gravity, friction, and collisions. It also has practical applications in fields such as engineering and transportation, where knowledge of forces and acceleration is crucial.
