Answer:

Milimeters

Explanation:

This kind of question must be checked with everyday elements, in this way we will analyze each of the options until we reach the appropriate:

kilograms can not be because this unit serves to measure the mass not the length.

kilometers (km) is a unit of length, but however it does not serve for this measurement since a km is equivalent to 1000 meters, therefore measuring the length of a shoe with a ruler measuring 1000 meters is very impractical.

milliliters is a unit of volume, and can often be found in the measurement of volume content of liquids, for example 700 milliliters of milk or 1000 milliliters of water. Therefore it is impractical to measure a shoe with a unit of volume.

In this way the way to measure a shoe correctly is using a ruler or measuring instrument graduated in millimeters.

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

$N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6$

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

A pendulum consists of a large balanced mass hanging on the end of a long wire. At the point where a 28-kg pendulum has the grea

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The length of the wire is approximately 67.1 m

Explanation:

The parameters of the pendulum are;

The mass of the pendulum, m = 28 kg

The angle between the pendulum weight and the wire, θ = 89°

The magnitude of the torque exerted by the pendulum's weight, τ = 1.84 × 10⁴ N·m

We have;

Torque, τ = F·L·sinθ = m·g·l·sinθ

Where;

F = The applies force = The weight of the pendulum = m·g

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

l = The length of the wire

Plugging in the values of the variables gives;

1.84 × 10⁴ N·m = 28 kg × 9.8 m/s² × l × sin(89°)

Therefore;

l = 1.84 × 10⁴ N·m/(28 kg × 9.8 m/s² × sin(89°)) = 67.0656080029 m ≈ 67.1 m

The length of the wire, l ≈ 67.1 m
