in your own words provide two advantages of using meters as a measurement of length rather than old measurements of length such

as hands or steps
Physics
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

First, the meters is the unit used in almost all the world today.

Then using meters as your unit will be easier to read and interpret for a larger number of people than if you use an older system, like hands or steps.

And because of the fact that almost all the world uses the meter as the unit for length, almost all the equations and formulas are written in meters.

Precision: The meter is exactly defined as:

"The length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second"

So the meter is an exact (and accepted) unit.

Then using this unit for measures of length also provides some " legitimacy" for you measure.

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha
nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..
Ahat [919]
There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.
