How do physicists use measurements to understand the natural world?? Use scientific language to describe your evidence.

Physics

Answer:

Measurements are used to describe quantitatively real-life situations

Explanation:

Measurement refers to the act of assigning a number (with a unit) to a characteristic of an object or an event.

For example: when we want to measure the size of an object, we can use a rule to measure its length, and we assign a number with a unit for that quantity (for example, 5 cm). In this case, we have done a measurement.

Measurements are used by scientists in order to understand the natural worlds. In fact, without measurements it would be impossible to describe phenomena of the real world quantitatively: it would be only possible to describe them qualitatively, and therefore it would not be possible for instance to derive mathematical laws that describe those phenomena.

A car, initially traveling at 81.8 mi/h, slows to rest in 7.1 s. What is the car's acceleration?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a = -16.9 ft/s²

Explanation:

81.8 mi/hr(5280 ft/mi / 3600s/hr) = 120 ft/s

a = Δv/t = (0 - 120) / 7.1 = -16.9 ft/s²

if the initial direction is taken as the positive direction.

<span>A person expended 500 newtons to move a full wheelbarrow 30 meters how much work was done?

</span>In physics, a force is said to do work<span> if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. The work done would be calculated as follows:

What changes occurred when you heated sugar ?<br><br><br> Please help <br><br> Test
nirvana33 [79]
When sugar is first heated, it begins to melt. As it melts its color starts to change from white to golden brown, and then to dark brown (if you continue heating it). If you apply heat for even longer, it becomes black and gives off unpleasant fumes.
