Describe how the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass were determined in the

Physics

the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass are 1 meter, 1 meter³  and 1kilogram.

One 10-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator would equal one meter.

A cube with sides of one meter has a volume of one meter³.

The mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water is very close to (and was originally intended to be exactly) one kilograms.

but today a more precise way to define is available in which:

1 meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/3×10⁸ sec.

The weight of a specific platinum-iridium prototype held by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is defined as 1 kg.

moreover these measurements are man made and are not absolute and therefore many new units of measurement can be defined as long as they are fundamentally same everywhere.

Two point charges of +2.50 x 10^-5 C and -2.50 x 10^-5 C are separated by 0.50m. Which of the following describes the force betw
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Q1 = +2.50 x 10^-5C and Q2 = -2.50 x 10^-5C, r = 0.50m, F=?

Using Coulomb's law:

F = 1/(4πE) x Q1 x Q2/ r^2

Where

k= 1/(4πE) = 9 x 10^9Nm2/C2

Therefore,

F = 9x 10^9 x 2.50 x 10^-5 x2.50 x

10^-5/. ( 0.5)^2

F= 5.625/ 0.25

F= 22.5N approximately

F= 23N.

To find the direction of the force: since Q1 is positive and Q2 is negative, the force along Q1 and Q2 is force of attraction.

Hence To = 23N, attractive. C ans.

Thanks.
