<h2>Answer: The Systeme international (International System of Units)</h2>

The International System of Units (SI) is used in almost every country in the world (<em>except Burma, Liberia and the United States</em>).

This system was created in 1960 by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures in France and is made up of seven basic units:

-Ampere (electric current)

-Kelvin (temperature)

-Second (time)

-Meter (length)

-Kilogram (mass)

-Candela (luminous intensity)

-Mol (amount of substance) *added to the system in 1971

Plus an unlimited number of derived units from the main ones.

kifflom [539]

The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

$C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T = 39 K$ is the change in temperature

Solving for $C_s$ , we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK$

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

$F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\$

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

$F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o$

blondinia [14]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circle, r = 30 m

The coeﬃcient friction between tires and road is 0.5,

The centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

v = 12.12 m/s

So, the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve is 12.12 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
