Why is an object's density expressed as a relationship between two units?

Physics

vfiekz [6]3 years ago

Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units.  You know, like miles per hour .

I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.

The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second".  But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.

So I guess you're right.  Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it.  Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter".  We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".

Let's try it out:
 
"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected.  In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas.  I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."

I like it !

What happens to the strength of the magnetic field as you come closer to the current carrying wire?
lina2011 [118]
Electric energy is carried by current, which is the flow of electrons, which are the negatively charged sub-particles of atoms. This transfer of electrons from one place to another powers our lights, phones, appliances and many other things we use every day. Another interesting phenomenon of flowing current is that it produces its own magnetic field. Electricity and magnetism are very closely linked in that all closed loop currents create their own magnetic fields, and magnetic fields acting upon closed loop circuits can produce current or even change current diction.

How many orbitals are allowed in a subshell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that subshell is 3?
svp [43]

Answer:

7 orbitals are allowed in a sub shell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that sub shell is 3.

Explanation:

We that different values of m for a given l provide the total number of ways in which a given s, p,d and f sub shells in presence of magnetic field can be arranged in space along x, y ,z- axis or total number of orbitals into which a given subshell can be divided.

    Range for given l lies between -l to +l .

The possible values of m are -3 , -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 ,2 , 3 .

    Total number of orbitals are 7.

86 Km/h convertir a (m/min)
gogolik [260]

Answer: 1433.3 m/min

Explanation:

For 86 Km/h converted to a (m/min), convert kilometers to meters, and hour to minutes

So, 86 Km/h means 86 kilometers per 1 hour

- If 1 kilometer = 1000 metres

86 kilometers = 86 x 1000 = 86,000m

- If 1 hour = 60 minute

1 hour = 60 minutes

In m/min: (86,000m / 60 minute)

= 1433.3 m/min

Thus, 86 Km/h convert to 1433.3 m/min
