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]

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 25 kg, sit in seats opposite one another in a rotating merry-go-round with an arm leng
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

92.25 kgm^2

Explanation:

Assume both children bodies are point particles. The total moment of inertia about the rotation axis of 2 points particles of mass 16 kg and 25 kg at 1.5 m arm length is

\sum I = m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2

where m_1 = 16 kg, m_2 = 25 kg are the masses of 2 children r_1 = R-2 = 1.5m are their distance to the center of rotation

\sum I = 16*1.5^2 + 25*1.5^2 = 1.5^2(16 + 25) = 92.25 kgm^2

2. If you want 0. 250 a (250 milliamps) to flow around a circuit with a resistance of 400 ohms, what voltage do you need?
grigory [225]

Answer:

0.000625 V

Explanation:

The formula linking current , resistance and voltage is :

V = I/R

Voltage = Current / Resistance

Now we substitute values given in question :

Voltage = 0.250 / 400

Voltage (V) = 0.000625

Our final answer is 0.000625 V

Hope this helped and have a good day

A vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (2,-7) what is the magnitude of the displacement
Leto [7]

Answer:

|x| = √53

Explanation:

We are told that the vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (2,-7) .

Thus, magnitude of displacement is;

|x| = √(((-7) - 0)² + (2 - 0)²)

|x| = √(49 + 4)

|x| = √53

The power in an electrical circuit is given by the equation P = I2R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation: Here we have given a direct equation . There for no need to worry .

P = I²×R

P = (12)² ×100

P = 14400W = 14.4 kW

For second one

P = I² ×R

200 = I²×150

I = √200/150

I = 1.15 A
