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.

Kinetic energy is the energy of
Alina [70]

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.

an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.

Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Ecologically speaking, which is bigger, a population or a community? Explain.
exis [7]

<span>Here are a few of the fundamental words in ecology, which are simple, but may be easy to mix up because they are so similar. It is, however, quite important to be clear of what they mean. I will here try to explain how they differ by defining them and giving a few examples to illustrate how they could be applied. 
</span>

<span>A habitat is basically the site<span> where an organism or a group lives</span>. It may be anything from a stone in a lake, on which algae grows, to a forest containing all sorts of creatures. Note that groups within a habitat do not need to be of the same species. However, one usually speaks of habitats of individuals, species, or larger groups. For instance, the habitat of the algae would be the stone in the lake, and the forest could be the habitat of a single bear – regardless of what other organisms live there and how they are geographically distributed; here we are interested in the bear, so we define the habitat as its home range, and all that falls within it will arbitrarily be a apart of its habitat. hope this helps</span>
