All recorded measurements require a number followed by a _______ .

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: unit

Jusitification:

An plain number does not inform the real meaning of the measure if you do not inform the unit of measurement.

Without the unit you cannot tell the real magnitude of objects or phenomena measured.

For example, suppose that some one asks how long is a boat and the answer is 20. What is it? 20 meters? 20 feet? 20 yards? You do not really know if it is a big boat or a small one until you inform the unit of measurement.

The same is true with any measurement. If you measure volumen you have to tell is the number reported is galon, liters, cubic centimeter, mililiter, cubir meter, or what.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the
lys-0071 [83]

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

F=k\cdot x

We solve for k (spring constant):

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The work required is 250 joules.

For maximum radiation protection the suggested distance between array fan-beam scanner source and the operator is:
krok68 [10]

For maximum radiation protection the suggested distance between array fan-beam scanner source and the operator is 2m.

The Fan beam 5 position reference system (PRS) uses accurate time-of-flight laser technology to determine vessel position relative to custom reflectors.

A fan beam allows only the measurement of the azimuth angle. A fan beam, one with a narrow beam width in azimuth and a broad beam width in elevation, can be obtained by illuminating an asymmetrical section of the paraboloid.

The operators’ desk should be positioned at least 1m away from a pencil beam, and at least 2m from a fan-beam system. Some older models, that are not now common, require a distance of 3.5 m.
