When converting from smaller to larger units the decimal point travels right *

Answer:

False, it travels left.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we can answer this with an example. If we have 200 g and we want that value in a larger unit, for instance, kilogram, the following conversion is performed since 1 kg equals 1000 g:

$200g*\frac{1kg}{1000kg}=0.200g$

Whereas we needed to move the decimal point from right to left, which means that it travels left, that is why the statement is false.

Best regards.

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters

amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

$a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)$

$a = 7.36 m/s^2$

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

$y = 10 m$

now by kinematics we have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2$

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

now the distance moved by it

$x = v_x t$

$x = 24.5 (1.65)$

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

final velocity in Y direction

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)$

$v_y = 12.14 m/s$

now magnitude of velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}$

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}$

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is

gavmur [86]

Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C
The answer is letter B.

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is v² = u² + 2ah, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

power of a crane is 25000 watt calculate the time required by it to lift a load of 6000 kg up tp the height of 20 m

saul85 [17]

Solution:

We have,

Power [P] = 25000 Watt

Mass [m] = 6000 kg

Height [h] = 20 metres

Time [t] = ?

Now,

P = W/t = F x d/t = mxgx h/t

Or, 25000 = 6000 x 10 x 20/25000 [.......g = 10

m/s^2]

Or, t = 6000 x 10 x 20/25000

Or, t = 1200/25

Therefore, t = 48 second

Hence, the required time for the crane to lift the load is 48 seconds.
