<u>Answer:</u>

A measurement standard is defined as 'the exact quantity people agree to use for comparison'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the same type of quantity, there is a unit of measurement which is defined and adopted either conventionally or by law which is used as standard for measurement of that quantity.

This measurement standard is defined as 'the exact quantity people agree to use for comparison'.

For example, for length the standard unit of measurement is 'meter'.

Answer:

v = 3.6m / s ,   θ = 56º

Explanation:

This is a relative speed exercise, let's use the Pythagorean theorem

        v = √ (v₁² + v₂²)

where v₁ is the speed of the sea still water and v₂ the speed of the current

         

let's calculate

       v = √ (2² + 3²)

        v = 3.6m / s

to find the direction we use trigonometry

      tan θ = v₂ / v₁

       θ = tan⁻¹ (v₂ / v₁)

let's calculate

       θ = tan⁻¹ (3/2)

        θ = 56º

vovikov84 [41]

(distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance) is SPEED.

(straight-line distance and direction between start-point and end-point) is DISPLACEMENT.

(amount and direction of change in speed) divided by (time for the change) is ACCELERATION.

(amount and direction of change in momentum) divided by (time for the change)  OR  (mass) times (acceleration) is FORCE.
