Explain, using your own example why you must always give a unit when reporting a measurement.

1 answer:

5 0

If you don't give unit with your magnitude (number) then, anyone can't figure it what you are talking about!
Suppose, you said, the weight of an iron bar is 10.
What does that mean? We can't even figure out how heavier is it.

Now, If you tell that the weight of a person is 10 Newton, then it makes sense 'cause 10 N has specific value. When you wrote 10 then, it could be newton, dyne or any other derived unit.

Hope this helps!

What do you know about tides?

Neporo4naja [7]

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Tide tables can be used to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range") of tides at any given locale.

Consider the following reaction proceeding at 298.15 K: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq,0.15 M)⟶Cu2+(aq, 1.14 M)+2Ag(s) If the standard reduction

lutik1710 [3]

Answer : The cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)$

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V$

$E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=0.80V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^o=0.80V-(0.34V)=0.46V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of cell potential for this cell.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}][Ag]^2}{[Cu][Ag^+]^2}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.46-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.14)\times (1)^2}{(1)\times (0.15)}$

$E_{cell}=0.434V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proport

netineya [11]

Answer:

$[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$

Explanation:

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proportional to its mass m. The mathematical expression for the second law of motion is given by :

F = m × a

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration due to gravity

We need to find the dimensions of force. The dimension of force m and a are as follows :

$[m]=[M]$

$[a]=[LT^{-2}]$

So, the dimension of force F is, $[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts

Nata [24]

(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.

(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².

<h3>Net force on the third child</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑F = ma

where;

∑F is net force
m is mass of the third child
a is acceleration of the third child

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N

Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;

the wagon
the children outside the wagon

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

→ → Ф ←

1st child friction wagon 2nd child

<h3>Acceleration of the child and wagon system</h3>

a = ∑F/m

a = 9 N / 27 kg

a = 0.33 m/s²

<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N

a = ∑F/m

a = 0/27 kg

a = 0 m/s²
