<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.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature $(T_i)=300 K$

$P_i=10 atm$

$P_f=2 atm$

Work done in iso-thermal process $=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$

$P_i$ =initial pressure

$P_f$ =Final Pressure

$W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J$

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is $=P\Delta V$

$V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L$

$V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L$

$\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J$

$\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J$

$\Delta U=0$

We now have an algebraic expression with only one variable, which can be solved. Once we have that, we can plug it back into one

Len [333]

Answer:

A=1

B=-2

Explanation:

Part A and B of the question wasn't given, however, I attached the relevant parts to solve this question as follows.

From part B as attached, it shows that the right option is C which is

2A+3B=-4

Substituting B with 3A-5 then we form the second equation as shown

2A+3(3A-5)=-4

By simplifying the above equation, we obtain

2A+9A-15=-4

Re-arranging, then

11A=-4+15

Finally

11A=11

A=1

To obtain B, we already know that 3A-5 so substituting the value of A into the above then we obtain

B=3(1)-5=-2

Therefore, required values are 1 and -2

Answer:

0.0312J

Explanation:

Let x be the distance the staple moves:

$x=0.150m-0.115m=0.035m$

And spring constant is $k=51.0N/m$

$PE=0.5kx^2\\=0.5\times 51.0\times 0.035^2\\\\=0.312$

Hence, the potential energy is 0.0312J

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of

olga2289 [7]

I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

      11.2 cm = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
       0.112 meter = (4.9 m/s²) (time)²

Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²

(0.112 / 4.9) sec² = time²

Square root
each side:    time = √(0.112/4.9 sec²)

= √ 0.5488 sec²

=    0.74 second (rounded)
