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.

A race car traveling at 10. meters per second accelerates at the rate of 1.5 meters per seconds while traveling a distance of 7,
Arturiano [62]

The final speed of the car is 2) 150 m/s

Explanation:

Since the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

u = 10 m/s

a=1.5 m/s^2

s = 7,467 m

Solving for v, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the car:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{10^2+2(1.5)(7,467)}=150 m/s

A cheetah can run at a maximum speed 103 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum speed of 76.5 km/h. If both animals are running
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1

 t_a  =  13.49 \  s

2

 The distance is   D = 55.2 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The maximum speed of the cheetah is  v =  103 \  km/h =  28.61 \  m/s

    The maximum of  gazelle is  u =  76.5 \  km/h =  21.25 \  m/s

     The distance ahead is d =  99.3 \  m

Let  t_a denote the time which the cheetah catches the gazelle

Gnerally the equation representing the distance the cheetah needs to move in order to catch the gazelle is

           v* t_a = d +  u* t_a

=>          28.61 t_a = 99.3 +  21.25t_a

=>          7.36 t_a = 99.3

=>         t_a  =  13.49 \  s

Now at t =  7.5 s  

             7.5 v = D+  7.5u

=>          28.61 * 7.5  = D +  21.25* 7.5

=>          7.36 *  7.5 =D

=>         D = 55.2 \  m        

Hence the for the gazelle to escape the cheetah it must be 55.2 m

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet
Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

V=IR

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.
