The US English System of measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
Explanation:
both are areas of land that drain to particular water bodies such as lakes
Answer:
v = 0.489 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg
The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m
Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m
We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.
So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.
By Boyle's law the volume of the sample decreases, provided temperature is constant.
Yes, it is diffusion !
Diffusion is the process in which gas, through random movement of particles, tends to fill up the whole volume of the container in which it is placed. So a similar process would lead the smoke, which is in form of gas (or light particles), to fill in the whole room in which it is contained.
