Answer:

The metric system measures mass in grams or kilograms, distance in meters or kilometers, and volume in liters. It measures temperature in Kelvin or Celsius degrees instead of the Fahrenheit degrees used in the imperial system.

Answer:

The mass of a body is a measure of the resistance against a change of motion state of the body itself. That's why they usually call it "inertial mass" and is somehow an exclusive property that doesn't depend on "where" the body is in the space.

The volume of a body literally the amount of three-dimensional space that the body occupies.

The temperature of a body is a measure of the kinetic energy that the body has. The more the atoms of the body are moving, the hotter the body will be. Absolute zero (i.e. 0° K) is a state where all of the atoms of a body are motionless.

With reference to the international system of units, mass is measured in kilograms, volume in cubic metres and temperature in Kelvin.

If the archerfish spits its water 30 degrees from the horizontal aiming at an insect 1.2 m above the surface of the water, how f

Burka [1]

Answer:

The speed is $v = 9.8 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The angle made is $\theta = 30^o$

The distance above the surface of the water is $h_{max} = 1.2 \ m$

The value of $g = 10 \ m/s^2$

The maximum height attained by the fish is mathematically evaluate as

$h_{max} = \frac{v^2 sin ^2 \theta }{2g }$

Making v which is the speed of the fish the subject of the formula

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2gh_{max}}{ sin^2 \theta } }$

substituting values

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10 *1.2 }{ [sin (30)]^2 } }$

$v = 9.8 \ m/s$

I stretch a rubber band and "plunk" it to make it vibrate in its fundamental frequency. I then stretch it to twice its length an

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency = wave velocity/2L

where;

L is the length of the stretched rubber

Wave velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}$

Frequency (F₁) = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}$

To obtain the new frequency with respect to the old frequency, we consider the conditions stated in the question.

Given:

L₂ =2L₁ = 2L

T₂ = 2T₁ = 2T

(M/L)₂ = 0.5(M/L)₁ = 0.5(M/L)

F₂ = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2T}{0.5(\frac{M}{L})}}}{4*L} = \frac{\sqrt{4(\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}})}{4*L} = \frac{2}{2} [\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}] = F_1$

Therefore, the new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1).

Which vector should be negative?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?

Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
