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 :)

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.

Answer:

Mike will receive an electric shock

Explanation:

Human body is a conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes rod and give it negative charge, the rod will dissipate its charge as soon as it comes in contact with earth via conduting material. Mike will receive a severe electric shock as negatice charge pass through his body to other rod and to the ground.His body will feel numb. He may also get unconscious.
