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

Physics
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]1 year ago
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.

The battery charger for an mp3 player contains a step-down transformer with a turns ratio of 1:38, so that the voltage of 120 v
matrenka [14]
Transformer contains two coils: primary and secondary. They allow change of voltage to lower or higher value. In first case we have step-down and in second case we have step-up transformer.
Formula used for transformer is:\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}

Where:N1 = number of turns on primary coilN2 = number of turns on secondary coilV1 = voltage on primary coilV2 = voltage on secondary coil
In a step-down transformer primary coil has more turns than secondary coil. So the ratio 1:38 means that for each turn on secondary coil we have 38 turns on primary coil.
We can solve the equation for V2:V_{2} =  \frac{ V_{1}* N_{2}  }{ N_{1} }  \\  V_{2} =  \frac{ 120* x  }{ 38x} } \\ V_{2} = 3.16V

Secondary coil provides voltage of 3.16V.

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units
