Why is it important to cite units when engaging in scientific conversation / problem solving?

1 answer:

4 0

It is really important to cite units while engaging with scientific problems as they help in evaluating the right solution without any mistake.

Explanation:

While solving analytical questions to evaluate the right answers, the units play a crucial role in the equations. With the help of units in the formula, we can easily judge whether we are placing the values in the same parameters and hence, lessen the probabilities of wrong answers.

For example, while adding two measurements i.e. 4 m and 36 cm; if we don't consider the units and move on with the addition, the answer will be 40. Now, the first thing is that we are adding two measurements of different parameters. Besides this, the answers will be wrong i.e. 4.36 m is the correct answer instead of 40 and that too without mentioning the unit.

The chances of selecting the wrong answer are more when we need to choose options out of multiple choices because here we often get confused. That's why we should always make sure that we approach the scientific questions along with the units.

For a brass alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 345 MPa (50,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity is 103

Alona [7]

Answer:

a) P = 44850 N

b) $\delta l =0.254\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

Cross-section area of the specimen, A = 130 mm² = 0.00013 m²

stress, σ = 345 MPa = 345 × 10⁶ Pa

Modulus of elasticity, E = 103 GPa = 103 × 10⁹ Pa

Initial length, L = 76 mm = 0.076 m

a) The stress is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{\textup{Load}}{\textup{Area}}$

on substituting the values, we get

$345\times10^6=\frac{\textup{Load}}{0.00013}$

Load, P = 44850 N

Hence the maximum load that can be applied is 44850 N = 44.85 KN

b)The deformation ( $\delta l$ ) due to an axial load is given as:

$\delta l =\frac{PL}{AE}$

on substituting the values, we get

$\delta l =\frac{44850\times0.076}{0.00013\times103\times 10^9}$

$\delta l =0.254\ mm$

How long does it take for the hubble telescope to orbit earth

il63 [147K]

Answer:

95 minutes

Explanation:

According to N.A.S.A, the Hubble Space Telescope makes one orbit around Earth every 95 minutes.

"The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 547 kilometers (340 miles) above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels about 5 miles per second: That is like traveling from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast in 10 minutes. Hubble is solar-powered.

Hubble takes sharp pictures of objects in the sky such as planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has made more than one million observations. These include detailed pictures of the birth and death of stars, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet pieces crashing into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Scientists have learned a lot about the universe from these pictures. Many of them are beautiful to look at."

4. What happens during fertilization that makes the offspring unique from the original cells?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique. During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote. Meiosis is the type of cell division that produces gametes.

Hope it'll help!
