Both systems have benefits and disadvantages.

Benefits of the Metric System

<span>Easier for anything involving conversions.Celsius is based on the the freezing and boiling points of water.Is the most popular system of measurement worldwide. This gives interchangeability internationally.Other systems of measurement, like U.S. standard units, are tied directly to metric units so they can be converted back and forth.<span>You can sell to the government since governments (including the U.S. government) require government contractors to use the metric system for most things.</span></span>

They're able to understand the results of each others' work, and
repeat someone else's work if they want to, much faster, easier,
and more accurately than if they had to first convert it to different
units.

Which force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the sun?

andreev551 [17]

The force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the Sun is heat energy.

<h3>What is nuclear fission and fusion?</h3>

When the slow moving neutrons are bombarded with the heavy radioactive nuclei, the product is the more number of neutrons are produced with the large amount of energy. This multiplying process is called nuclear fusion.

The amount of energy produced in such a reaction can be calculated using the equivalence of mass and energy relationship.

E = mc²

The same happens in nuclear fusion where large amount of energy is needed to make more heavy nuclei.

Thus, fusion requires heat energy to continue the reaction.

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop

liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!

timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.

A rocket engine has a chamber pressure 4 MPa and a chamber temperature of 2000 K. Assuming isentropic expansion through the nozz

gladu [14]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A rocket engine has a chamber pressure 4 MPa and a chamber temperature of 2000 K. Assuming isentropic expansion through the nozzle, and an exit Mach number of 3.2, what are the stagnation pressure and temperature in the exit plane of the nozzle? Assume the specific heat ratio is 1.2.

Answer:

- stagnation pressure is 274.993 Mpa

- the stagnation temperature Tt is 4048 K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

To determine the stagnation pressure and temperature in the exit plane of the nozzle;

we us the expression;

Pt/P = (1 + (γ-1 / 2) M²)^(γ/γ -1) = ( Tt/T )^(γ/γ -1)

where Pt is stagnant pressure = ?

P is static pressure = 4 MPa = 4 × 10⁶ Pa

Tt is stagnation temperature = ?

T is the static temperature = 2000 K

γ is ratio of specific heats = 1.2

M is Mach number M = 3.2

we substitute

Pt/P = (1 + (γ-1 / 2) M²)^(γ/γ -1)

Pt = P(1 + (γ-1 / 2) M²)^(γ/γ -1)

Pt = 4 × 10⁶(1 + (1.2-1 / 2) 3.2²)^(1.2/1.2 -1)

Pt = 4 × 10⁶ × 68.7484

Pt = 274.993 × 10⁶ Pa

Pt = 274.993 Mpa

Therefore stagnation pressure is 274.993 Mpa

Now, to get our stagnation Temperature

Pt/P = ( Tt/T )^(γ/γ -1)

we substitute

274.993 × 10⁶ Pa / 4 × 10⁶ Pa = ( Tt / 2000 )^(1.2/1.2 -1)

68.7484 = Tt⁶ / 6.4 × 10¹⁹

Tt⁶ = 68.7484 × 6.4 × 10¹⁹

Tt⁶ = 4.3998976 × 10²¹

Tt = ⁶√(4.3998976 × 10²¹)

Tt = 4047.999 ≈ 4048 K

Therefore, the stagnation temperature Tt is 4048 K
