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.

¿Qué ocurre como consecuencia de las corrientes de convección en la astenosfera?
Vladimir [108]

Respuesta:En la astenosfera existen lentos movimientos de convección que explican la deriva continental. Además, el basalto de la astenosfera fluye por extrusión a lo largo de las dorsales oceánicas, lo cual hace que se renueve y expanda constantemente el fondo oceánico. :D

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of
Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

  • F is applied force
  • Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

Which statement provides the best description of a computational model?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Computation modeling is used as the software for math, physics, or software engineering in the simulation and study of complicated processes. The software framework incorporates many parameters, that characterize the model under study. It is a computer program, in which the mathematical formula is generated by computers and research complex systems.
