Explain the value or importance of using the international system of units when describing motion

1 answer:

5 0

<span>It is important to use the SystĂ¨me Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>

A .025 kg bullet is moving at 350 m/s when it hits and then passes through a 7 kg block of wood. After the bullet passes through

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The final velocity of the wooden block is equal to $1.035 m/s$

Explanation:

Given that mass of bullet = $m_{b} = 0.025kg$

Mass of wood = $m_{w} = 7kg$

Initial velocity of bullet = $u_{b} = 350m/s$

Final velocity of bullet = $v_{b} = 60m/s$

Initial velocity of wood = o

Final velocity of wood = $v_{w]$

Here momentum is conserved so initial momentum = final momentum

$m_{b}u_{b} = m_{b} v_{b} + m_{w}v_{w}$ .

Upon substituting these values in above equation , we get

$v_{w} = 1.035m/s$ .

A psychologist who would claim that a client's personal experience and viewpoint influence behavior more than events in reality would probably use cognitive psychology mixed with developmental aspects to explain the behavior and personality of a person.

8. A 40.0kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and is immersed in water. The dimensions of the block are 12.0cm x 10.0cm x

Alja [10]

Answer:

a.1017.9N

b.1029.7N

c.T=380.6N

d.11.8 N

Explanation:

(a) The absolute pressure at the level of the top of the block is

Po=atmospheric pressure

g=gravity

h1=height

rh0=density of water

P1=Po+rho*g*h1

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.05)

1.0179*10^5Pa

at the level of the bottom of the block we have

P2=Po+rho*g*h2

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.17)

1.0297* 10^5 Pa

the downward force exerted on the top by the water is

Ftop=P*A== × = 1.0179* 10^5* 0.100

= 1017.9 N

and the upward force the water exerts on the bottom of the block , which is the buoyant force

Fbot== × = 1.0297 10^5 * 0.100 m

= 1029.7 N

(b) The scale reading is the tension, T, in the cord supporting the block.

if the block is at equilibrium, then sum of vertical forces

EFy=T+Fbot-Ftop-mg=0

T=mg+Ftop-Fbot

T=40*9.81-(1029.7-1017.9)

T=380.6N

Buoyant force=rho *g*h

= = 1000* 0.100^2 * 0.120 m *9.80 m s=11.8 N

from the answer a Ftop-Fbot

1029.7-1017.9=11.8N, the same as the buoyant force

which do you think would be warmer on a winter day when there is no wind a thick forest or a grassy field? explain your answer

Tju [1.3M]

I think it would be warmer in a grassy field with no wind on a winter day because you'll have sunlight hitting you. However, if you were in a thick forest, all sunlight would be blocked and you would have no warmth from the sun.
