Why is the definition for second based on the Cesium 133 atom?

Engineering
1 answer:
jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  The rate of vibrations of the atoms is consistent

Explanation:

A second is defined as 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.

The definition applies when the atom is in isolation at a temperature of absolute zero. Adjustments must be made for the conditions that can be maintained in practice.

Such radiation is determined by the laws of quantum mechanics, so is extremely consistent.

Burn rate can be affected by: A. Variations in chamber pressure B. Variations in initial grain temperature C. Gas flow velocity
Digiron [165]

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Burn rate can be affected by all of the above reasons as, variation in chamber pressure because the pressure are dependence on the burn rate and temperature variation in initial gain can affect the rate of the chemical reactions and initial gain in the temperature increased the burning rate. As, gas flow velocity also influenced to increasing the burn rate as it flowing parallel to the surface burning. Burn rate is also known as erosive burning because of the variation in flow velocity and chamber pressure.

When would working with machinery be a common type of caught-in and caught-between<br> hazard?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A working with machinery be a common type of caught-in and caught-between  hazard is described below in complete detail.

Explanation:

“Caught in-between” accidents kill mechanics in a variety of techniques. These incorporate cave-ins and other hazards of tunneling activity; body parts extracted into unconscious machinery; reaching within the swing range of cranes and other installation material; caught between machine & fixed objects.

A box-shaped aquarium has horizontal dimensions 0.5 m by 1 m, and depth 0.5 m, and is filled two-thirds of the way to the surfac
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

3270 N/m^2

Explanation:

we can calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and surface of the tank by applying the equation for the net vertical pressure

Py = - Ph ( g ± a )

for a downward movement

Py = - Ph ( g - a )  ------ ( 1 )

From the above data given will  be

p = 1000 kg/m^3, h = 2/3 * 0.5 = 0.33 m , a =2g , g = 9.81

input values into equation 1  becomes

Py =  -Ph ( g - 2g ) = Phg ------ ( 3 )

Py = 1000 * 0.33 * 9.81

    = 3270 N/m^2

Technician A says high resistance causes an increase in current flow. Technician B says a higher than
Kryger [21]

The correct statement is: a higher than a normal voltage drop could indicate high resistance. Technician B is correct.

<h3>Ohm's law</h3>

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the voltage provided all physical conditions are constant. Mathematically, it is expressed as

V = IR

Where

V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

<h3>Technician A</h3>

High resistance causes an increase in current flow

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V / I

Thus, technician A is wrong as high resistance suggest low current flow

<h3>Technician B</h3>

Higher than normal voltage drop could indicate high resistance

V = IR

Thus, technician B is correct as high voltage indicates high resistance

<h3>Conclusion </h3>

From the above illustration, we can see that technician B is correct
