What SI unit replaces the pound. what does this measure

Physics
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
7 0

The SI system of measurements was created to provide a standard
system that could be used and understood by scientists and ordinary
people everywhere.  No such system had existed before.  The SI ('metric')
system stands on its own.  It doesn't explicitly 'replace' anything, unless the
users of other systems decide to throw off their ancient, complicated, and
difficult systems and climb aboard the metric bandwagon.  To date, every
country in the world has done that, except the three backward shadowy
societies who prefer to resist change and wallow in their old habits. 
The three holdouts are Burma, Liberia, and the USA.

In the complex and confusing "customary" system, the "pound" is used
both as a unit of mass and as a unit of force. 

When "pound" means "poundmass", it can be replaced by the kilogram. 
And when it means "poundforce", it can be replaced by the Newton.

Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position; it is energy waiting to be released. What conclusion is BE
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming its usual position (i.e., when not drawn), there is no energy stored in the bow. Yet when its position is altered from its usual equilibrium position, the bow is able to store energy by virtue of its position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object.

Natalia lifts a bag of groceries 0.50 m by exerting a force of 36 N. How much work did she do on the bag?
Kruka [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

18 Joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Work is the measures the transfer of energy when an object moves over a given distance.</u></em>
  • Work is therefore given by; Force × distance

Force =36 Newtons

Distance = 0.5 meters

  • Hence; <em>work = 36 N × 0.5 N</em>

<em>                                = 18 Joules </em>
