These are four questions and four answers


Question 1. What does it mean to "convert" from one unit to another? Give an example.


Convert from one unit to another is transforming or changing the magnitude to an equivalent measure according to a different pattern of comparison or unit of measure.


For example, converting from meter to centimeters, means to transform the unit of measure (the pattern of comparison) from meter to centimeter.


When your measure is 3 meters, means the length is 3 times the standard pattern named meter.


Therefore, converting it to centimeters means that you want to know how many times is 3 meters relative to the a new pattern named centimeter.


Since, 1 meter equals 100 cm, you build a conversion factor which you can use to make the conversion:


1 m = 100 cm ⇒ 1 = 100 cm / 1 m


∴ 3 m = 3 m × 100 cm / 1 m = 300 cm.


Question 2. What are the general mathematical operations you use when converting from one SI unit to another?


The most common mathematical operations are the basic ones: addition, substraction, multiplication and division.


See one example of each one:


a) Addition:


Transform 20°C to K: 20 + 273.15 K = 293.15 K


b) Subtraction:


Convert 300 K to celsius degrees: 300 - 273.15°C = 26.85°C


c) Multiplication


Convert 1000 Km to meter


1000 Km × 1000 m/Km = 1,000,000 m


d) Division


Convert 1540 mm Hg to atm


1 atm = 760 mmHg ⇒ 1 = 760 mmHg / atm

1540 mmHg / (760 mmHg / atm) = 2.026 atm


Question 3. How many meters do you cover in a 10 km (10-K) race?


This requires to convert 10 km to the equivalent number of meters.


Conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m ⇒ 1 = 1000 m/Km


∴ 10 Km = 10 Km × 1000 m/km = 10,000 m ← answer.


Quesiton 4. An Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long. You swim from one end to the other four times.


a. How many meters do you swim?

4 laps × 50 m/lap = 200 m ← answer


b. How many kilometers do you swim?


1 = 1 km / 1000m

200 m = 200 × 1 km / 1000 m = 0.200 km ← answer


c. How many centimeters do you swim?


1 m = 100 cm ⇒ 1 = 100 cm / m

200 m = 200 m × 100 cm/m = 20,000 cm ← answer

2. What are the general mathematical operations you use when converting from one SI unit to another? 
The mathematical operations used in converting units would be multiplication and division.

3. How many meters do you cover in a 10 km (10-K) race? 

4. An Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long. You swim from one end to the other four times. 
a. How many meters do you swim? 
50 x 4 = 200 meters
b. How many kilometers do you swim? 
200 meters = 0.20 kilometers

Answer:

Incident ray

Explanation:

"To describe the reflection of light, we will use the following terminology. The incoming light ray is called the incident ray. The light ray moving away from the surface is the reflected ray. The most important characteristic of these rays is their angles in relation to the reflecting surface."

Kepler deduced this law of motion from observations of Mars. What information confirms his conclusion that the orbit of Mars is
Leno4ka [110]

Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.

This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.

First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.

Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.

It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.

The net force is 180 and the mass is 1.793 what is the acceleration
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

100.390407

Explanation:

To find acceleration, you would use the formula a=f/m (acceleration equals force divided by mass) and then once you enter those numbers in the formula, a=180/1.793. Then you divide 180 divided by 1.793 which gets you an answer of 100.390407.
