Yes, it has weight, but less than air's weight.

It's a chemical process so it doesn't have mass.

Yes, as air has weight 1.3 kg per cubic metre and density of gas in the flame of fire 1/4 th density of air. So the weight of flame will be 1.3/4 i.e—0.3 kg per meter cube.

Flame is nothing but highly energized gas molecules, so yeah it does have weight (as molecules have Weight).

Fire is a chemical process, so it does not weight while Fire's Flame is a complex mixture of particulate solids and gases which are reactive and thus have mass. I hope the answer helps.

Yes, it has mass. If you consider it as electromagnetic wave still it weights due to its motion. Or on the other hand, smokes comes out from flame; it means it has mass.

No, Fire's flame does not have any weight as it's a medium for phase change.

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².

A body is initially at rest. It undergoes one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration. The power delivered to it at time t is proportional to
(i) t1/2 (ii) t (iii) t3/2 (iv) t2
Power=FVCosA=ma.(u+at)Cos0=ma.(0+at).1=ma^2.t. Which is propotionalp to t. So correct answer (ii) t.

Force of 16N and 12N are acting on a mass of 200kg in mutually perpendicular directions. Find the magnitude of the acceleration produced.
Resultant force F= sqrt (16^2+12^2) => F=20N So F=ma => a=F/m=20/200 => a=0.1 ms-2
