Answer:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

Explanation:

Since the expression for the distance is:

$x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3$

then:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?

Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.

By how much does the volume of an aluminum cube 4.00 cm on an edge increase when the cube is heated from 19.0°C to 67.0°C? The l

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Edge of cube = 4.00 cm

Initial temperature = 19.0°C

Final temperature = 67.0°C

linear expansion coefficient $\alpha=23.0\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the volume expansion coefficient

Using formula of volume expansion coefficient

$\beta=3\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\beta=3\times23.0\times10^{-6}$

$\beta=0.000069=69\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the volume

$V= a^3$

$V=4^3$

$V=64\ cm^3$

The change temperature of the cube is

$\Delta T=T_{f}-T_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta T=67-19 = 48^{\circ}C$

We need to calculate the increases volume

Using formula of increases volume

$\Delta V=V\beta\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta V=64\times69\times10^{-6}\times48$

$\Delta V=0.212\ cm^3$

Hence, The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

A charged particle A exerts a force of 2.45 μN to the right on charged particle B when the particles are 12.2 mm apart. Particle

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$F_2 = 1.10 \mu N$

Explanation:

As we know that the electrostatic force is a based upon inverse square law

so we have

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

now since it depends inverse on the square of the distance so we can say

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

now we know that

$r_2 = 18.2 mm$

$r_1 = 12.2 mm$

also we know that

$F_1 = 2.45 \mu N$

now from above equation we have

$F_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} F_1$

$F_2 = \frac{12.2^2}{18.2^2}(2.45\mu N)$

$F_2 = 1.10 \mu N$
