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

Physics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
5 0
<span>It is important to use the Système 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>

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N

What is the potential energy at the origin due to an electric field of 5 x 10^6 N/C located at x=43cm,y=28cm?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

potential energy at origin is 2.57*10^{6} volt

Explanation:

given data:

electric field E = 5*10^{6} N/C

at x = 43 cm, y = 28 cm

distance btween E and origin

\Delta r = \sqrt{43^2 +28^2}

\Delta r = 51.313 cm

potential energy per unit charge \Delta V = - Edr

\Delta V = 5*10^6*51.313*10^{-2} J/C

\Delta V  =  2.57*10^{6} volt

potential energy at origin is 2.57*10^{6} volt

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Abbie is one meter from the center o
klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

a=r\omega^2

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let r_1 is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and r_2 is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :

a_1=r_1\omega^2 ...... (1)

r_1=1\ m

Acceleration of Zak's is :

a_2=r_2\omega^2 .......(2)

r_2=2\ m

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{a_2}{2}

So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
