Scientists need to know how to make measurements

1 answer:

Part of the scientific process involves sharing your results with other scientists. To do this, we all need to use the same measurement system, which you'll learn about in this lesson.

Imagine you're trying to find out how much an elephant weighs. You're pretty sure it weighs a lot, but you don't know the exact number. So you ask your teacher, and she tells you an elephant weighs the same as three hippos.

Well that's nice to know, but how much does a hippopotamus weigh? Again, you ask your teacher, and she tells you a hippopotamus weighs the same as five alligators. That's a cool fact to know, but you still don't understand how much an elephant weighs because comparing elephants to alligators can be confusing.

plz mark me as brainliest :)

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6 to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=37.4mpy

mm/yr

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is acting to balance gravity,keeping the rock in place? - D. friction
Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity

nevsk [136]

We can use the kinematic equation
$(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d$
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
