Answer:

SI Units

Meter

Kilogram

Kelvin

US Customary Units and English Units

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

Copper exists in nature as two isotopes. The atomic masses and relative abundance of these isotopes is given in the table. What

Alona [7]

The correct answer should be B) 63.55. That's because the most precise number is 63.546, but you would write 55 because 46 is rounded that way in the equation. The others are a bit higher, while E is a completely different element, Iodine. This isn't the most precise piece of data because in reality there would be a slight differentiation of +- 0,003u

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

$R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}$

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

$V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3$

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

$P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}$

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

A 0.20 kg baseball is traveling at 40 m/s toward the batter. The ball is hit by the bat with a force of 200N, and is

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 0.2kg

Force, F = 200N

Initial velocity, u = 40m/s

Final velocity, v = 25m/s

To find the time;

Ft = m(v - u)

Time, t = m(v - u)/f

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time, t = 0.2(25 - 40)/200

Time, t = 0.2(-15)/200

Time, t = 3/200

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Note: We ignored the negative sign because time can't be negative.

1. The gravitational force acting on a falling body and its weight is constant. But the law of universal gravitation tells us th

vagabundo [1.1K]

It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:

34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: $\frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}$

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE
