What is a conversion factor?

Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

m_a_m_a [10]
As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.

A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!
