What distinguishes mass from weight?

a.
mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.
b.
weight is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while mass is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.
c.
mass is a measure of an object's inertial force, and weight is the force exerted by that object on other objects.
d.
mass and weight are synonyms and ultimately describe the same principle.

Abatter hits the baseball a with an initial velocity of v0 = 110 ft/sec directly toward fielder b at an angle of 23° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. fielder b requires 0.44 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. because of great experience, fielder b chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. the catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.4 ft. determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.
