Answer:

A dimension is a measure of a physical variable.

Unit is a way to assign a number or measurement to that dimension.

In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity is a quantity to which no physical dimension is assigned, also known as a bare, pure, or scalar quantity or a quantity of dimension one, with a corresponding unit of measurement is the SI of the unit one, which is not explicity shown.

A length change 0.08 m will occur for an object that is L= 56 m long. If the coefficient of thermal expansion is5.3 x 10 /C and

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Increase in temperature = 269.54 °C

Explanation:

We have equation for thermal expansion

ΔL = LαΔT

Change in length, ΔL = 0.08 m

Length, L = 56 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻1

Change in temperature, ΔT = T - 253

Substituting

0.08 = 56 x 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ x (T - 253)

(T - 253) = 269.54

T = 522.54 °C

Increase in temperature = 269.54 °C

Linear Velocity What is the linear velocity in cm>min for any edge point of a 12-cm-diameter CD (compact disc) spinning at 10

daser333 [38]

3,89,988 cm/min is the linear velocity

Given,

Diameter of CD = 12 cm

So, Radius of CD = 6 cm

CD is spinning at 10350 rev/min

Firstly , convert rev/min into rad/min

1 rev = 2π radians

10350 rev/min = 10350 × 2π

= 64998 rad/min

Formula used,

$v=rw$ where,

$v$ is the Linear velocity

$r$ is the radius

$w$ is the angular velocity

$v$ = 6 cm × 64998rad/min

= 3,89,988 cm/min

Thus, linear velocity for any edge point of a 12-cm-diameter CD (compact disc) spinning at 10,350 rev/min is 389988 cm/min.

A 3 kg bowling ball is thrown onto a mattress. If it takes 0.3 seconds to stop the ball using a force of 24 N, what was the init

enyata [817]

Answer:

-24 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the bowling ball = 3 kg

time (t) = 0.3 seconds

Force = 24 N

initial velocity u = ???

We know that;

Force = mass × acceleration (a)

So;

24 = 3 × a

a = 24/3

a = 8 m/s²

Also;

From equation of motion; acceleration is given by the relation;

$a =\frac{v-u}{t}$

if v = 0

then ;

$8 = \frac{0-u}{0.3}$

24 = 0- u

u = -24 m/s

Thus; the initial velocity of the bowling ball when it first touched the mattress = -24 m/s

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
