What is the reason for converting units?

Physics
1 answer:
ELEN [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Unit conversion is very important because the rest of the world other than three countries uses the metric system. So, converting units is important in science because it uses the metric system. The metric system is measurements like cm, m, l, mL, etc...

Explanation:

Units can: Help to show another person the exact amount you have. Assist in solving a mathematical problem, especially in chemistry, where you can follow the units to get to the answer. Show which measurement system the person is using (i.e. metric or standard)

Hope this helps :)

When materials absorb heat, the kinetic energy of the particles _________?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The atoms started to get "overly excited" and started to move faster than they usually do. When this happens, energy is released in the form of heat, light or etc. Because of this, kinetic energy increases and atoms colliding with each other happens more often.

How much power is delivered to a light bulb on a 120V, 0.5A<br> circuit?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

60 w

Explanation:

Given :

V= 120V

I=0.5 A

Now,

power can be calculated as :

P=VI

where,

V is voltage

I is current

Now,

P=(120)(0.5)

P=60 W

Therefore, 60w power is delivered to a light

A body of mass 40kg is accelerating at a
jok3333 [9.3K]
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

Mass is constant, so the rate of change of momentum is
                        (mass) x (rate of change of speed) .

But (rate of change of speed ) is just acceleration.

So the rate of change of momentum is (mass) x (acceleration).

But (mass) x (acceleration) is Force.

So Force is the rate of change of momentum.    Verrrrrrrry interesting !

In this problem, Force = (40 kg) x (9 m/s²) = 360 newtons.

One 'Newton' is one kilogram-meter per second² .
Unit of momentum is (kilogram)-(meter per second), so 'newton'
is also a unit of time rate of change of momentum.

Rate of change of momentum is 360 momentum units per second.
