Scientists need to know how to make measurements

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A backpack weighs 8.2 Newtons and has a mass of 5 kilograms on the moon what is the strength of gravity on the moon

lions [1.4K]

i dont get it so much but

The weight of the bag pack is 8.2 N. g = 1.64 m/s2. Hence, the acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.64 m/s2. sooo? is it right

g A hydraulic press has a safety feature which consists of a hydraulic cylinder with a piston at one end and a safety valve at t

nlexa [21]

Answer:

58.32 N

Explanation:

Area of a circle = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

where r is the radius of the circle.

The cylinder has a radius of 0.02 m, its area is;

$A_{1}$ = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(0.02)^{2}$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 0.0004

= 1.2571 x $10^{-3}$

Area of the cylinder is 0.0013 $m^{2}$ .

The safety valve has a radius of 0.0075 m, its area is;

$A_{2}$ = $\pi$ $r^{2}$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(0.0075)^{2}$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 5.625 x $10^{-5}$

= 1.7679 x $10^{-4}$

Area of the valve is 0.00018 $m^{2}$ .

From Hooke's law, the force on the safety valve can be determined by;

F = ke

$F_{2}$ = 950 x 0.0085

= 8.075 N

Minimum force, $F_{1}$ , required can be determined by;

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }$ = $\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$\frac{F_{1} }{0.0013}$ = $\frac{8.075}{0.00018}$

$F_{1}$ = $\frac{0.0013 *8.075}{0.00018}$

= 58.32

The minimum force that must be exerted on the piston is 58.32 N.

State Coulomb’s Law equation and give the meaning of every variable and the units.

igor_vitrenko [27]

The Coulomb's law equation is F = Kq₁q₂/r².

<h3>What is Coulomb's law?</h3>

This is the law that relates the product of two charges to the square of distance between the two charges.

Coulomb's law states that the force of attraction or repulsion is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

<h3>Coulombs' law equation</h3>

The equation of Coulomb's law is given as;

F = Kq₁q₂/r²

where;

K is Coulomb's constant, Nm²/C²
q₁ is the first charge, C
q₂ is the second charge, C)
r is the distance between the charges, m

Thus, the Coulomb's law equation is F = Kq₁q₂/r².

A horizontal force of 200N is applied to a 55kg cart across a 10m level surface. If the cart accelerates at 2.0m/s^2, then what

luda_lava [24]

1j=1newton*meter
force=mass*accel
200N=55x
200/55=3.636......
3.636...-2=1.636.....
1.636 is the deceleration resulting from friction hence the force of friction is 1.636*55=90newtons
90newtons*distance of 10 meters= 900 j of work done by friction
