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

Physics

4 0

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.

Flura [38]
As the light pass through different media, it experiences a refraction. This is a phenomenon where the speed and direction of light changes. If the ray of light moves towards the normal line, the angle is decreased. So, is the speed of that light.

-Dominant- [34]
<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>
