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.

Answer:

d=1.49×1011m

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of travel, and can be found using the distance formula.

velocity=distancetime

Rearranging this formula we can solve for distance given velocity and time of travel.

d=vt

We are given velocity and time, and so can solve for distance, but if we plug in the values given;

d=(3.00×108m/s)(8.3minutes)

We can see that the units do not match up. Since seconds are the SI unit for time, we will need to convert 8.3 minutes to seconds.

t=(8.3minutes)(60seconds/minute)=(498s)

Now our units work out and we can solve for distance.

= 15.85

What is the acceleration along the ground of a 10 kg wagon when it is pulled with a force of 44 N at an angle of 35° above the
Olegator [25]

The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s².

To solve the problem above, we need to use the formula of acceleration as related to force and mass.

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

⇒ Formula:

  • Fcos∅ = ma................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • F = Force
  • ∅ = angle above the horizontal
  • m = mass of the wagon
  • a = acceleration of the wagon

⇒ make a the subject of equation 1

  • a = Fcos∅/m..................... Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • F = 44 N
  • ∅ = 35°
  • m = 10 kg

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • a = 44(cos35°)/10
  • a = 44(0.8191)/10
  • a = 3.6 m/s²

Hence, The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s²

A student walks 4 block east, 7 blocks west, 1 blocks east then 2 blocks west in an hour. Her average speed is____ block/hour
Gemiola [76]

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

<em></em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity.  I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too.  If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it.  I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour  West</em>
