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.

Using software, a simulation of a javelin being thrown both on Earth and on the moon is created. In both cases, the velocity and
mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

If the magnitude of F1 is greater than the magnitude of F2, then the box is
Lady bird [3.3K]

Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2, there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of motion is along the F1.

All of the following are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except it
tankabanditka [31]
The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties. 
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis. 

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.
