Scientists need to know how to make measurements

Physics
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
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.

plz mark me as brainliest :)

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?
zysi [14]
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly.  Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs.  In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle.  Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats.  The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency.  For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz.  The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

Contrary to popular belief, a ski jumper does not achieve a large amount of "air" when doing a jump (less than 6 feet). This is
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial horizontal velocity of the jumper, V_x = 26 m/s

horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m

The time of the motion is given by;

dx = Vₓt

t = dx / Vₓ

t = 240 / 26

t = 9.23 s

The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;

d_y = V_yt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

initial vertical velocity, V_y, = 0

d_y =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(9.23)^2\\\\d_y = 417.45 \ m

Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

What is kinematics ?<br>explain ~​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.

and/or

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
