Why is the SI measurement system so important to the scientific community?

1 answer:

7 0

It creates a stable foundation that allows for free communication between languages and cultures when describing nature using mathematics. The SI units of measurement can be seen as a kind of global language of logic and reason, separate from culture. It unifies mankind in understanding one another.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation: according to Coulomb's inverse-square law is proportional to the square of distance between them and is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{r^2}$

where r is the distance between the charges & k is the Coulomb's constant

k=1/(4*ε_0*π)

k=9*10^9

the distance between the charges in this question is d_1

hence the magnitude of the force exerted by q_0 on q_1 is given by

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2}$

due to location of particle 1 above the particle 0 the direction of force is parallel to y axis and in vector form

$F=k\frac{q_0q_1}{d_1^2} j$

A 1056-hertz tuning fork is struck at the same time as a note on the piano and you hear 2 beats/second. You tighten the piano st

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The frequency of the piano string is <em>1059 Hz</em>.

Explanation:

The frequency beat (fb), 2 beats/second, is the absolute difference between the frequency of the tuning fork (1056 Hz) and the frequency of the piano string.

As the piano string gets tightened, the frequency beat becomes 3 beats/second.

Therefore,

fb = $fb = fpiano - ftuning fork\\ 3 Hz=fpiano-1056Hz\\ fpiano=1056Hz+3Hz\\ fpiano=1059Hz$

Would the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increase or decrease if the dimensions of t

storchak [24]

Answer:

Yes the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increases three times if the dimensions of the balance wheel reduced to one-third of original dimensions.

Explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure below.

Time period for balance wheel is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}$

$I=mR^{2}$

m = mass of balance wheel

R = radius of balance wheel.

Angular frequency is related to Time period as:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{I}} \\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}$

As dimensions of new balance wheel are one-third of their original values

$R_{new}=\frac{R}{3}$

$\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR_{new}^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m(\frac{R}{3})^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\omega$
