If the nails dimensions were expressed in meters, we would have to divide it by 100.

In earlier times there were 3 main types of measurement systems:

1.The CGS system(centimetre, gram and second)

2.• The FPS system( foot, pound and second)

3.• The MKS system(metre, kilogram and second)

But in the present day, we use Système Internationale d’ Unites (French for International System of Units), abbreviated as SI.

The SI Unit of length is meter, but in many cases the length is given in centimeters.

So, we have to convert the value given in centimeter to meter by using the conversion factor which is,

1 meter = 100 centimeters

1 cm = 1/100 meter

Therefore, if the nails dimensions were expressed in meters, we would have to divide it by 100.

To know more about "SI Units", refer to the following link:

You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

q=1.4*10^{-9}C

Explanation:

Given data:

charge on ruler = -14μC

Mass of tissue is 5 g

To Know the minimum charge,  equate electrostatic force to weight  

we have F = W

so\frac{KQq}{r^2} =mg

putting all value in equation,

=\frac{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})*q}{0.06^2} = 5* 10^{-3}*9.8

solving for q

q =\frac{5* 10^{-3}*9.8 *0.06^2}{9*10^9*(14*10^{-6})}

or q=1.4*10^{-9}C

During what era did the French and Indian War occur?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.</span>

A train travels 67 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 81 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
Naddika [18.5K]
Answer: 24.7 km/h

Explanation:

1) Average speed definition and formula

The average speed is the total distance run divided by the time elapsed:

S = distance / time

2) Distance 1 = 67 km

3) Distance 2 = 81 km

4) Total distance traveled = 67 km + 81 km = 148 km

5) time 1 = 1 hour

6) time 2 = 5 hours

7) total time = time 1 + time 2 = 1 h + 5 h = 6 h

8) Average speed:

S = 148 km / 6 h = 24.7 km/h
