14. Which of the following accurately describes the differences between the SI and English systems of measurement?

Physics

nasty-shy [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. The English system is preferred for use in the scientific and technical communities due to its ease of us of the SI system

Explanation:

This is true due to the the fact that in the English system, all you have to do to change from one measurement to the other is just move the decimal place. For example: I have 10 kg of apples and wish to convert it into grams, kilo means 1000 and grams are the base, meaning one, so we will move the decimal place to the right three places (to add the three zeros for 1,000) and the answer will 10,000. Hope you read through this and somewhat get what I mean.

The figure shows three displacement vectors, which are labeled a, b, and c What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

C. 13m west.

Explanation:

because a and b are going opposite directions, all we have to do is find the difference between those 2 values.

15-2 = 13

and it would be 13 west because A has the bigger arrow, so we just copy that direction.

Andrei [34K]

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Power = force × distance / time

P = (12 kg × 10 m/s²) (8 m) / (10 s)

P = 96 Watts

Two long conducting cylindrical shells are coaxial and have radii of 20 mm and 80 mm. The electric potential of the inner conduc
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) The speed of the electron as it reaches the inner conductor is closest to:

v = 1.45 × 10⁷m/s

b) The electric field magnitude between the cylinders is

E = 10,000V/m

Explanation:

given

inner radius of the cylinder r₁ = 20mm = 0.02m

outter radius of the cylinder r₂ = 80mm = 0.08m

potential difference V= 600V

mass of electron = 9.1×10⁻³¹kg

charge on electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

calculating the work done in bringing electron at inner conductor is

W =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

note:

V = \frac{W}{q}

∴W = (ΔV)q

(ΔV)q = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

(600)1.6×10⁻¹⁹ = ¹/₂ × 9.1×10⁻³¹ × v²

v² ≈ 2.11 × 10¹⁴

v = 1.45 × 10⁷m/s

According to the energy conservation law, the total energy of an isolated system is always constant.  

The energy of an isolated system can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only convert one form to another form.

∴ the maximum electric field

E = ΔV/d

E = 600/d

where d is the distance between the two points

where d = 0.06m

E = 600/0.06

E = 10,000V/m

Note: the electric field due to the potential difference between to points depends upon the potential difference V and the distance between both points d.

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ
