While Newton's Second Law often deals with formulas and numerical calculations, there exist one very important nonnumerical conv

ention that must be appreciated and adhered to. On September 23, 1999, Mars Climate Orbiter--a $125 M space mission--was lost when a small rocket was fired to adjust entry to the Mars atmosphere. Unfortunately, one operator assumed the thrust value was given in English units when actually NASA specifications gave it in metric units. This is an example of consequences if the MKS convention is not precisely honored. What does the MKS convention designates the following? A) measure distance in miles, mass in kilograms and time in seconds B) measure distance in meters, mass in kilograms and time in seconds C) measure mass in newtons, distance in kilometers and time in seconds D) measure time in minutes, distance in kilometers, mass in kilograms

Option B is the correct answer.

MKS system gives the following units:

Distance ----- meters

Mass ----- Kilograms

Time ----- seconds

meter is basic unit for length measurement. smaller units are centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, bigger units are kilometer and so on.

kilogram is the basic unit for mass. smaller unit is gram.

second is the basic unit for time. Greater units are minutes, hours, smallest unit are micro second and so on.

Determine whether each of the following is exothermic or endothermic and indicate the sign of δh. A. Natural gas burning on a st
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A) exothermic, δh is negative

B) endothermic, δh is positive

C) endothermic, δh is positive

Explanation:

And endothermic process absorbs heat from its sorrounding, cooling the sorrounding down. Whereas an exothermic process releases heat to its sorrounding raising the temperature of the sorrounding system.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2
