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

Physics

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.

The solar mass of the Sun is 1. The orbital period of Jupiter is 11. 9 Earth years. What is the distance between Jupiter and the
cestrela7 [59]

The distance between Jupiter and the sun is 5.2 AU.

According to Kepler's third law, the square of the period of revolution of planets is proportional to the cube of their mean distances from the sun. From this; T^2 = r^3.

Now, we are told that the orbital period (T) is 11. 9 Earth years. We have to make the distance the subject of the formula.

r =T^2/3

r = (11.9)^2/3

r = 5.2 AU

A ball with a mass of 275 g is dropped from rest, hits the floor and rebounds upward. If the ball hits the floor with a speed of
Alla [95]

Answer:

Change in momentum is 1.1275 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 274 g = 0.274 kg

It hits the floor and rebounds upwards.

The ball hits the floor with a speed of 2.40 m/s i.e. u = -2.40 m/s  (-ve because the ball hits the ground)

It rebounds with a speed of 1.7 m/s i.e. v = 1.7 m/s (+ve because the ball rebounds in upward direction)

We have to find the change in the ball's momentum. It is given by :

\Delta p=p_f-p_i

\Delta p=m(v-u)

\Delta p=0.275\ kg(1.7\ m/s-(-2.4\ m/s))

\Delta p=1.1275\ kg-m/s

So, the change in the momentum is 1.1275 kg-m/s

Force (N) = 250<br> Mass (kg) = 221<br> Acceleration (m/s^2) = ?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The required acceleration is a=1.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

  • Force F = 250 N
  • Mass m = 221 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

We know that acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a body.

The acceleration can be determined using the formula

F = ma

where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

now substituting F = 250 , and m = 221 in the formula

F = ma

250 = 221 (a)

switch the equation

221(a) = 250

Divide both sides by 221

\frac{221a}{221}=\frac{250}{221}

simplify

a=\frac{250}{221}

a=1.1 m/s²

Therefore, the required acceleration is a=1.1 m/s²

If an airplane is traveling at 500 mph and a fly is flying forward inside the airplane is the fly traveling faster than the airp
vaieri [72.5K]
Relative to the Earth, yes; The inside of the airplane acts as its own kind of "world", in which the standard would be moving 500 mph relative to the Earth.  As the fly is moving forward inside, you would add the 500 mph of the plane plus the speed of the fly relative to the plane to get the speed of the fly relative to the Earth.
