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]

A light wave traveling through medium 1 strikes a boundary with medium 2 at at a 45 degree angle. the light then enters the seco
Alona [7]

Here light ray strikes to interface at an angle of 45 degree and then refracts into other medium such that it will bend towards boundary.

So here the angle of incidence will be less than the angle of refraction as light moves towards the boundary after refraction which mean it will bend away from the normal

here it can be said that medium 2 will be rarer then medium 1

So here the possible options are

1. Water  

Air

2. Diamond  

Air

So in above two options medium 1 is denser and medium 2 is rarer

Which was more difficult to determine (latitude or longitude) and why?
Ivenika [448]
Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.

A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after t hours it is s = 6t2 + 2t miles from its initial positi
docker41 [41]
<span>32 mph
   First, let's calculate the location of the particle at t=1, and t=4
 t=1
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t
 s = 6*1^2 + 2*1
 s = 6 + 2
 s = 8 t = 4
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t s = 6*4^2 + 2*4
 s = 6*16 + 8
 s = 96 + 8
 s = 104
   So the particle moved from 8 to 104 over the time period of 1 to 4 hours. And the average velocity is simply the distance moved over the time spent. So:
 avg_vel = (104-8)/(4-1) = 96/3 = 32
   And since the units were miles and hours, that means that the average speed of the particle over the interval [1,4] was 32 miles/hour, or 32 mph.</span>

The complete process for learning through repetition is to read, write, say, rest and revisit the information. T or F.
Dima020 [189]

Answer: The given statement is True.

Learning means change or modification in the behavior of an individual that is obtained by getting new information, knowledge, skills or different experiences throughout the life.

There can be different learning styles like visual ( using pictures and images), verbal ( like repetition or rehearsal), social ( in groups), logical ( using reasoning) that could be adopted by different individuals.

The information can be memorized through repetition of the information by continuously reading, writing, speaking, and revisiting it.
