I can't find this answer anywhere, so I'll ask here: what item did they base the SI unit of mass (grams) off of? (in other words

, to what object did they say "hey, lets make this equal 1 gram and then go from there"

The SI Unit of the gram was based off the weight of a 1 cm cube of water that was at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius.

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and

iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals.

Bess [88]

time should you wait between pushes is 2.83 sec.

the question is incomplete, full statement is-

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals. If you want to increase the amplitude of her motion as quickly as possible, how much time should you wait between pushes?

<h3>What is Amplitude?</h3>

In physics, amplitude refers to the greatest displacement or distance that a point on a vibrating body or wave may move relative to its equilibrium location. It is equivalent to the vibration path's half-length.

regular interval - at similarly spaced intervals: having the same interval of time between occurrences From 4 a.m. to midnight, the buses operate at regular intervals. The boards are positioned at regular intervals, with an equal amount of space between each.

The length of swing, l = 2.1 m

The time between the pushes is nothing but the Time period

and is given by the formula,

$T = 2\pi ( \frac{l}{g} )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

= 2 * 3.14 ( 2.0/ 9.8 ) ^ (1/2)

= 2.83 sec

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?

erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all. All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it. All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what

Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i$

Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i$ | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

for instance:

If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

m = $\frac{m_1+m_2}{2}$

Δm = | $\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ | Δx₁ + | $\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ | Δx₂

$\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ = ½

$\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ = ½

Δm = $\frac{1}{2}$ Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.
