All recorded measurements require a number followed by a _______ .

1 answer:

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.

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn

Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.

AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is $25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$ .

Initial velocity of the proton $u = 0$

Given potential difference $\Delta V = 350V$

let's assume that the speed of the proton is $v$ ,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge $q$ when accelerated with a potential difference $\Delta V$ is,

$U = q \Delta V$

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

$\Delta K = \Delta V$

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is $u$ and $v$ respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy $\implies \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

change in Potential Energy $\implies \Delta U = q\Delta V$

from conservation of energy,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}$

so, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

$= 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$

The gravitational force of attraction between two students sitting at their desks in physics class is 2.59 × 10−8 N. If one stud

motikmotik

<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = $\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = $\sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }$

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = $\sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }$

= 2.46 m

At what distance between two objects would you have the greatest gravitational force

Alla [95]

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers. So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.

Help ASAP with equation and answer pls. Numbers 2 3 4

scoray [572]

Answer:

2. 200N

3.50kg

4.700N

Explanation:

Weight is another word for the force of gravity

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth.

F=m*g

where g=acceleration due to gravity

2. due to the gravitational fields of the earth , assume gravitational acceleration=10m/s2

F=20*10= 200N

3.same as above

mass=Force/gravitational acceleration

mass=500/10 = 50kg

4.force=mass*gravitational acceleration

force=70*10=700N
