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

Capacitances of 10uF and 20uF are connected in parallel,

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The equivalent capacitance will be $15\mu F$

Explanation:

We have given two capacitance $C_=10\mu F\ and\ C_2=20\mu F$

They are connected in parallel

So equivalent capacitance $C=C_1+C_2=10+20=30\mu F$

This equivalent capacitance is now connected in series with $30\mu F$

In series combination of capacitors the equivalent capacitance is given by $\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{30}$

$C=\frac{30}{2}=15\mu F$

So the equivalent capacitance will be $15\mu F$

Sorry for answering late! The definition of Fusion is <span>the process or result of joining two or more things together to form a single entity. So that means its False :) </span>

An electron is traveling at 0. 85c. what is its mass? (the rest mass is 9. 11 × 10-31 kg. )

egoroff_w [7]

The mass of the electron is $1.72\times 10^{-30}$ Kg.

<h3>How can we calculate the mass of the electron?</h3>

To calculate the mass of the electron we are using the formula,

$m=\frac{m_{0} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } } }$

Here we are given,

$m_0$ =The rest mass of an electron = $9. 11 \times 10^{-31}$ kg.

v= The velocity of electron = 0. 85c.

c= The velocity of light = c. (c= $3\times 10^8$ m/s)

We have to found the mass of an electron = m Kg.

Now we substitute the known values, we found that,

$m=\frac{9. 11 \times 10^{-31} }{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.85c)^{2} }{c^{2} } } }$

Or, $m=\frac{9. 11 \times 10^{-31} }{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2 } }$

Or, $m=\frac{9. 11 \times 10^{-31} }{\sqrt{1-({0.85})^2 } }$

Or, $m=1.72\times 10^{-30}$ Kg.

From the above calculation we can conclude that, The mass of the electron is $1.72\times 10^{-30}$ Kg.

the period of a mechanical wave is 12 seconds what is the frequency of the wave 12 waves/seconds 4.0 waves/seconds 0.083 waves/s

Mandarinka [93]

Use your units !
"Period" is time . . . 12 seconds.
"Frequency" how often . . . " ___ PER time". Time is in the denominator.

"12 seconds per wave" means

      1 wave / 12 seconds

   = ( 1 / 12 ) (wave/second)

   = 0.08333... wave per second

   =    1/12 Hz.
