Learning Goal: To introduce the idea of physical dimensions and to learn how to find them.Physical quantities are generally not

purely numerical: They have a particular dimension or combination of dimensions associated with them. Thus, your height is not 74, but rather 74 inches, often expressed as 6 feet 2 inches. Although feet and inches are different units they have the same dimension--length. Find the dimensions [V] of volume. Find the dimensions [v] of speed.Express your answer as powers of length ( l), mass ( m), and time ( t)

Answer:

volume : {l}^3

speed: (l)^1*(t)^-1

Explanation:

Volume is a measure of 3 dimensional space. It is expressed with 3 orthogonal lengths. The volume of a box would be the product of it's height, width and length. These 3 are longitudes that can be expressed in meters, feet, inches, etc. Because these are 3 longitudes multiplied the result will be a cubic longitude (l)^3.

A more general method for finding a volume is to use integral calculus:

V = \int\int\int{x} * {y} * {z} * dx * dy * dz

This is for Cartesian coordinates. Cylindrical and spherical coordinates can also be used.

Speed is defined as the rate of change in position respect of time:

vx = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}

For movement in one dimension.

For movement in 3 dimensions you calculate the speed component of each space direction and express them as components of a speed vector:

\v{v} = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}  \hat{i} + \frac{\delta y}{\delta t}  \hat{j} + \frac{\delta z}{\delta t}  \hat{k}

This is a vector of velocity components, each one is expressed as a division of a longitude over a time, so speed components have dimensions of (l)^1*(t)^-1

The speed vector has a magnitude that is obtained with the Pitagoras theorem:

v = \sqrt{vx^{2} + vy^{2} + vz^{2}}

Since each component is squared, added together and then the square root is taken this magnitude is also in (l)^1*(t)^-1

If many household substances classify as acids or bases what is the ph scale
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: Some household items that contain acids include: yogurt, vinegar,lemon juice, citric acid, apples, jelly, pineapples, cranberry sauce, milk, and batteries and In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. At room temperature, pure water is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7.

What is the mechanical advantage of the machine shown below? a 5 b 4 c 3 d 2
Alex

Answer:

Explanation: Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force.

arsen [322]
The force applied would be 1.05*9.8 = 10.3 N
the pressure is equal to F/a
area will be πr^2 = 0.002826
thus pressure will be = 10.3/0.002826= 3644.72 N/m^2

A piece of transparent material that is used to focus light and form a image
Soloha48 [4]

Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.
