The first practical realisation of the metric system came in 1799, during the French Revolution, when the existing system of measures, which had become impractical for trade, was replaced by a decimal system based on the kilogram and the metre.

This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

Which of the following happens to an object in uniform circular motion?
podryga [215]

Answer:

As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed.

A student weighing 120 lbs climbs a 12 ft flight of stairs in 9 seconds. how much power did the student create?
Alex Ar [27]
Power can be calculate through the equation,
                        Power = Force x velocity

It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power. 
                       Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
                         <em> </em><span><em>Power   = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>

A need the answers pleaseeeee
IRISSAK [1]

It's just asking you to sit down and COUNT the little squares in each sector.

It'll help you keep everything straight if you take a very sharp pencil and make a tiny dot in each square as you count it.  That way, you'll be able to see which ones you haven't counted yet, and also you won't count a square twice when you see that it already has a dot in it.

(If, by some chance, this is a picture of the orbit of a planet revolving around the sun ... as I think it might be ... then you should find that both sectors jhave the same number of squares.)

Elenna [48]
Thank you for posting your Physics question here. I hope the answer helps.  Upon calculating the ramp with the horizontal the answer is 20.49 Deg. Below is the solution:

Y = 7 m. 
<span>r = 20 m. </span>

<span>sinA = Y/r = 7/20 = 0.35. </span>
<span>A = 20.49 Deg.</span>
