Explain two reason why SI is easier than the English System.

Physics
1 answer:
kifflom [539]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are several reasons why SI is preferred to the old English system of measurement: ... SI uses base 10, just like our number system, so it is much easier to learn, remember and convert between units. The prefixes used in SI are from Latin and Greek, and they refer to the numbers that the terms represent.

Pwease hlp me (>O<) Darkness falls during daytime hours. Which event might have occurred?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

D. Solar Eclipse

Explanation:

This is quite a phenomenal occurrence. Please, allow me to explain why D is correct.

A. A New Moon: This is the moon's first lunar phase. This is such a phase during which the sun and earth are located at nearly precise opposite ends of the moon, an occurrence that renders the moon nearly (if not) entirely invisible by the naked eye from an earthly perspective. This is not an occurrence that renders darkness during daylight.

B & C: (Partial & Total) Lunar Eclipse: A Lunar Eclipse is a beautiful occurrence that is visible <em>only </em>during nightfall, but can be witnessed from any location on earth that is <em>currently facing away from the sun </em>(a.k.a. nighttime hours). This occurs when the earth, sun, and moon are nearly perfectly aligned, with the sun and moon at opposite ends of the earth. The earth blocks the light of the sun, and though the side <em>facing </em>the sun won't experience any difference, the side <em>facing away from the sun </em>will be able to see the light from the sun beam around the earth, hitting the moon and reflecting back on us. The shadow of the earth entirely covers the moon during this event. The phases determines exactly what we see and to what degree/extent. This eclipse itself can happen numerous times a year, though only in Partial or Penumbral phases.

D. A Solar Eclipse: A solar eclipse is a breathtaking and oftentimes somewhat terrifying occurrence during which the moon passes <em>perfectly </em>in between the earth and the sun. Unlike a New Moon, however, this occurrence is perceived <em>during the day</em>, so for the side of the earth FACING the sun. When the moon is making its journey in between the sun and earth (which takes roughly 3-5m), the massive silhouette of the moon can be seen blotting out the sun, effectively causing a brief moment of darkness during daytime hours. This occurence is considered remarkably rare because DESPITE it occuring once per year, it can ONLY be viewed from specific locations on earth.

An elevator cab has a mass of 4710 kg and can carry a maximum load of 1910 kg. If the cab is moving upward at full load at 3.80
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Power P=246.78 KW

Explanation:

Mass of Elevator=4710 Kg

Can carry load =1910 Kg

Total Mass m to be lifted =4710 kg + 1910 Kg =6620 kg

speed = 3.80 m/s ⇒ per second distance traveled (height h) = 3.80 m  and    time t = 1 s

Using formula of Power P = \frac{work}{time}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

P= 6620kg × 9.81 m/s² × 3.80 m / 1s

P= 246780.36 W

P=246.78 KW

<h2>Oxygen is moving at 483.63 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

Kinetic energy = 6.21 x 10⁻²¹ J

Mass = 5.31 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

Substituting

        Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

        6.21 x 10⁻²¹ = 0.5 x 5.31 x 10⁻²⁶ x Velocity²

        Velocity² = 2.34 x 10⁵

        Velocity = 483.63 m/s

Oxygen is moving at 483.63 m/s

A jetliner is moving at a speed of 245m/s. The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 40.6 m/s. Determine the magnitude o
Harman [31]

Answer:

Horizontal component of velocity = 241.61 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of a jetliner is 245 m/s

The vertical component of the plane's velocity is 40.6 m/s, v_y=40.6\ m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane velocity.

The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

Where, v_x is the horizontal component of the plane velocity

v^2=v_x^2+v_y^2\\\\v_x^2=v^2-v_y^2\\\\v_x^2=(245)^2-(40.6)^2\\\\v_x=\sqrt{58376.64}\\\\v_x=241.61\ m/s

So, the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane velocity is 241.61 m/s.
