Why is the unit of temperature is called derived unit

Physics

Explanation:

The SI unit of power is the kilogram-meter2 per second cubed, which is called the watt (1 W = 1 kg-m2/s3). Since power is the energy used per unit of time, it is derived as the energy/time quotient.

Kelvin is a fundamental unit! It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles. Hence, we can accept it as a fundamental quantity. Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

What is the value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series?

Harman [31]

The value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series will be the sum of the three values.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the equivalent resistance.

<h3>What is meant by equivalent resistance?</h3>

equivalent resistance is the total value of the resistance connected in a circuit.
If n resistors are connected in series, then the equivalent resistance will be,

$R_E=R_1+R_2+..........+R_n$

In our question we have three resistors. Thus, the equivalent resistance will be,

$R_E=R_1+R_2+R_3$

Thus, we can conclude that, the value of the equivalent resistance for the three resistors connected in series will be the sum of the three values.

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf
