What units are used to measure force

2 answers:

8 0

In the metric system, the most common unit used is a Newton, which is a (kg x m)/sec^2 and in the English system, the most common unit is a Pound, which is a (slug x ft)/sec^2.

But really, any unit that conforms to a the diagram of a mass times a length divided by a time squared can be used to measure force. A microgram x kilometer divided by decade^2 is also a unit to measure force, albeit a very ugly one. I hope this helps :)

N, or Neutons are a common way to measure force

A 2. 0 μf and a 4. 0 μf capacitor are connected in series across an 8. 0-v dc source. what is the charge on the 2. 0 μf capacito

Nezavi [6.7K]

voltage across 2.0μf capacitor is 5.32v

Given:

C1=2.0μf

C2=4.0μf

since two capacitors are in series there equivalent capacitance will be

[tex] \frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{c1} + \frac{1}{c2} [/tex]

$c = \frac{c1 \times c2}{c1 + c2}$

$= \frac{2 \times 4}{2 + 4}$

=1.33μf

As the capacitance of a capacitor is equal to the ratio of the stored charge to the potential difference across its plates, giving: C = Q/V, thus V = Q/C as Q is constant across all series connected capacitors, therefore the individual voltage drops across each capacitor is determined by its its capacitance value.

Q=CV

given,V=8v

$= 1.33 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} \times 8$

$= 10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}$

charge on 2.0μf capacitor is

$\frac{Qeq}{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

$= \frac{10.64 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }{2 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} }$

=5.32v

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = $95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

r = Radius of Saturn = $9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 12 l when the applied pressure is 6.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volu

dolphi86 [110]

From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
p2 = 72/3
= 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm

Which statement correctly compares sound and light waves?

vitfil [10]

Light travels as transverse waves and can go through the vacuum of space, while sound has longitude waves and needs to travel through something solid. It can’t travel through a vacuum of space like light.
