Answer:

measurements

Explanation:

Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events. The scope and application of measurement are dependent on the context and discipline.

Work is said to be done by a force when the force applied on a body moves it in the direction of force.

Measurement is the comparison of an unknown quantity with a standard known quantity.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 1% per day. A s

Bumek [7]

Answer:

2,38kg

Explanation:

Mass in function of time can be found by the formula: $m_{(t)} =m_{0} e^{-kt}$ , where $m_{0}$ is the initial mass, t is the time and k is a constant.

Given that a sample decay 1% per day, that means that after first day you have 99% of mass.

$m_{(1)} =m_{0} e^{-k(1)}$ , but $m_{(1)}=\frac{99m_{0} }{100}$ , so we have $\frac{99m_{0} }{100}=m_{0}e^{-k}$ , then $k=-ln(\frac{99}{100})=0.01$

Now using k found we must to find $m_{(5)}$ .

$m_{(5)}=m_{0}e^{-(0.01)5}=2.5kge^{-0.05} =2.5x0.951=2.38kg$

A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What

icang [17]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F

- The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the opposite direction (backward)

So the net force acting on the box is

$F_{net}=F-F_f$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:

$F_{net}=ma$
