Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?

Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

Hi, this sounds like a chemistry question:
If you wanted to separate sand from iron fillings for example, using tweezers would be a great tool to do this, depending on the size of the iron fillings.

A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 51 cm mark. With two nickels stacked over the 6.0 cm mark, the stick
Oliga [24]

Answer:

65g

Explanation:

Two main conditions for equilibrium are:

I. The resultant force must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the forces acting in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the forces acting in the opposite direction about the same point.

II. The resultant moment must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the moments in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the moments in another direction about the same point.

For the above question,

the 51cm mark is the point where the resultant weight of the meter stick lies,

the pivot or point is the 45cm mark where the stick balanced when 2 nickels ( total mass (5.0g x 2) 10g were placed at the 6cm mark.

Using the conversion factor:

1000g(1kg) = 10N, we can convert mass to weight, calculate the weight of the meter stick then reconvert to mass.

That is,

mass of 2 nickels = 10g = 10/1000 = 0.01N.

Moment = Force x distance from line of force to pivot of rotation

Applying the principle of equilibrium,

Moment of left side = Moment of right side

0.01 x (45-6) = W x (51-45)

Where W = weight of the meter stick

W x 6 = 0.01 x 39

W x 6 = 0.39

W = 0.39/6

W= 0.065N

Therefore, mass of meter stick = 0.065 x 1000 = 65g.

Does latitude has an effect on weight? PLEASE HELP!​
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

yes

it does you weigh less on the equator than at the North or South Pole, but the difference is small. Note that your body itself does not change. Rather it is the force of gravity and other forces that change as you approach the poles. These forces change right back when you return to your original latitude.
