Answer:

<em>SI Units</em>

Meter

Kilogram

Kelvin

<em>US Customary Units and English Units</em>

Gallon

Mile

Pound

Degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

The SI units or International System of Units are the widely used metrics of measuring a physical quantity. It has specific abbreviations.

The US customary units is a measurement system where it is widely used in the united states. This system of unit also has abbreviations.

There are also conversion scales that are used to convert a unit from one metric system to the other.

For example, the conversion of mile to SI unit is given by the formula

1 mile = 1609.4 meters

Similarly,

1 pound = 0.453592 Kg

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t

shtirl [24]

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³

Calculate the energy gained by an ice block in the following experiment.

MAXImum [283]

The heat is exchanged when two different temperature objects come in contact. The energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the object.

A 7g block of ice was added to a coffee cup full of 103.4 grams of water. The water had an initial temperature T₁ = 24.5 C and a final temperature T₂ = 19.2 C after all the ice had melted.

Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice

Qgain = ms(T₂ -T₁ )

Substituting the value for mass of water m =103.4 g= 0.1034 kg , specific heat of water s = 4.18 kJ/kg and temperature values, we get

Qgain = 0.1034 x 4.18 x (24.5 - 19.2)

Qgain = 2.3 Joules

Thus, the energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

The image produced by a convex mirror is always closer to the mirror than it would be in a plane mirror for the same object dist

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The image produced a convex mirror is always virtual irrespective of location. The size of the image is always smaller than the object. In a plane mirror the distance of the object and the distance of the image is same. But in a convex the image distance is always less than the object distance.

So, this statement is true.
