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

Physics
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
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.

Nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.

Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.

Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.

As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.

Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.

Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as.
mr_godi [17]

They are related as \bold{\underline {v}\,.\,\underline a }= \bold{0}

  • In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the speed does not change during the travel and only the instantaneous direction changes.
  • This speed is always directed along the tangent to the circle at a given point. (refer to the figure attached)
  • For any circular motion, the must-have acceleration is the centripetal acceleration that is directed towards the centre of the circular locus (if the motion has a tangential acceleration, it has a tangential acceleration additionally).
  • Therefore, both the directions of the tangential speed and the centripetal acceleration are orthogonal to each other (perpendicular: one is 90 degrees apart from the other).
  • In mathematics, 2 vectors (\underline p , \underline q) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product (\underline p\,.\, \underline q) equal to zero vector (\bold 0) which is written as \undeline p\,.\, \underline q = \bold 0.
  • This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner \underline v\,.\, \underline a =\bold 0.

A painter stands a horizontal platform which has a mass of 20kg and is 5m long, the platform is suspended by two vertical ropes
Lerok [7]

Answer:

R = 715.4 N

L =  166.6 N

Explanation:

ASSUME the painter is standing right of center

Let L be the left rope tension

Let R be the right rope tension

Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive

R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0

R = 715.4 N

Sum moments about the right end to zero

20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0

L =  166.6 N

We can verify by summing vertical forces

116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0

                                             0 = 0  checks

If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.

In a grassland ecosystem, praying mantises catch and eat grasshoppers. However, there has been a significant decrease in the pra
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The population will increase because grasshoppers are the prey.

Explanation:

If there has been a significant decrease in the praying mantis population in recent years. This most likely affect the grasshopper population over time by the population will increase because grasshoppers are the prey. If there is less praying mantis then grasshoppers won't be eaten as much so the population of the grasshoppers will thrive
