A base unit (also referred to as a fundamental unit) is a unit adopted for measurement of a base quantity. A base quantity is one of a conventionally chosen subset of physical quantities, where no quantity in the subset can be expressed in terms of the others. The International System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system, is the international standard for measurement. ... The SI is made up of 7 base units that define the 22 derived units with special names and symbols. The units and their physical quantities are the second for time, the metre for measurement of length, the kilogram for mass, the ampere for electric current, the kelvin for temperature, the mole for amount of substance, and the candela for luminous intensity. The various features and future prospects of the International System of Units (SI) are described. The SI is based on seven selected base units, corresponding to the seven quantities such as length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Units are of two types: Fundamental units. Derived units. or powering the base units in various combinations, For example:
mechanical work is force applied multiplied by distance moved and has the unit newton metre written as Nm.
speed is distance divided by time and has the unit metre per second written as ms. The three measures are descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive. Descriptive is the most basic form of measurement.

At 20 C, a steel rod of length 40.000 cm and a brass rod
balandron [24]

Answer:

a. stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

b. new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> <u>identify the given parameters and standard parameters</u>

⇒Steel rod: length of rod = 40.000 cm

                    Young modulus(Υ) = 20 X 10¹⁰ pa

                    coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

                     stress in the rod =?

 ⇒Brass rod: length of rod = 30.000 cm

                    Young modulus(Υ) = 9 X 10¹⁰ pa

                    coefficient of linear expansion(α) = 2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

                     stress in the rod =?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Step 2:</u> <u>calculate the stress in each rod</u>

⇒Steel rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

                                                = (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

                                                = (-20 X 10¹⁰ pa) (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

                                                =  -9.6 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: stress in the rod = -Y*α*ΔT

                                                = (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(60-20)K

                                                = (-9 X 10¹⁰ pa) (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40)K

                                                =  -7.2 X 10⁷ pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∴ stress in steel rod is -9.6 X 10⁷pa while stress in brass rod is -7.2 X 10⁷pa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Step 3:</u> <u>calculate the new length of each rod</u>

⇒Steel rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

                                   ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

                                  ΔL = (1.2 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(40cm)(40)K

                                   ΔL = 1920 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.0192cm

                    New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.0192cm + 40cm

                    New length = 40.0192cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒Brass rod: New length = ΔL + L₀

                                    ΔL = α*L₀*ΔT

                                   ΔL = (2.0 X 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)(30cm)(40)K

                                   ΔL = 2400 X 10⁻⁵ cm = 0.024cm

                    New length = ΔL + L₀ = 0.024cm + 30cm

                    New length = 30.024cm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, new junction from steel rod is 40.0192cm while new junction from brass rod is 30.024cm

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
vivado [14]

Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where: in this case:

m_1 = 91.5 kg is the mass of the first player

u_1 = 2.73 m/s is the initial velocity of the first player (choosing east as positive direction)

m_2 = 63.5 kg is the mass of the second player

u_2 = 3.09 m/s is the initial velocity of the second player

v is their combined velocity afterwards

Solving for v, we find:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88 m/s

And the sign is positive, so the direction is east.

What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]
