Answer:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

Explanation:

To write down correctly the number 0,00123 in scientific notation, you take into account that the scientific notation demands that there in only one number after the comma ( , ). Furthermore, it is necessary that you move the comma to the right of the first number different of zero, in this case the number 1. To do this you move the comma three positions.

Then, you have to multiply the expresion 1.23 by 10 with an exponential -3 (because of the movement of the comma in three positions). That is:

0,00123 = 1,23*10^{-3}

But it is mandatory that nly one number can stay after the comma, so, you approximate the number three. In this case, the number is lower than 5, hence, you approximate 3 to 0.

Finally, you have:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

Write an essay on basketball history and how the game has changed over time

jarptica [38.1K]

Basket ball has gone through some changes and hence got into shape as what we play or watch nowadays. Overall rules have the same fundamental principles as set in 1891 by the founder of this game.

December 21st, in 1891, the introductory basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was first brought into shape by a Canadian-by birth, Dr. James Naismith. The basic idea of the new game was to keep the sports loving students in shape during the winters or in between the outdoor game seasons.

'The basket ball' which had a set of thirteen basic rules set up a strong foundation to the game and still played almost in the same style with few modifications.In the very year of 1891, after mixing and changing theme of several other played games of those days, basket ball was born.

Initially, basket ball with the 13 rules was played with 2 peach baskets setup as goals, which now a days are the baskets on a high poles although modified but with same basic idea. In the very first game played in Springfield, the set of players were able to score a single point only, in the whole game.

By comparing Naismith’s basketball and basketball of today we see a characteristic of the original game which had no dribbling, instead a player had to pass the ball to a another player of his team ,from his the very spot where he caught it. The second thing which has now changed is the fouls, in the original game if any team made 3 consecutive foul play ,the oponent received a goal in reward. Although this scoring technique doesn't exist in the modern basketball. Rather nowadays, if any team makes five fouls in one quarter, the offending team is in the penalty ,and shoot free throws are awarded against them.

All other rules are quiet intact in the modern play as well. As the game today,has extended to over 2 hundered countries and enjoyed by many on television screens, with modern umpiring and technologies being used in the game, but the original idea of the founder is still endured.

2. Four resistors of 2 ohm each are connected first in series and then in parallel with a battery.Find the ratio of electric cur

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

Help me please :(((((((

Dimas [21]

Answer: A.

Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.

what is required to bring about a phase change 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy 3.an in

frozen [14]

Answer

Correct answers are 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy

Explanation

All existing matter can undergo phase change it means they may transform from one state to another. phase change of a matter may occur due to change in energy and change in pressures.

for example there is an ice cube which is a solid and if we want to change it phase into liquid water for that purpose we have to supply some energy to ice cube it means we have to give some heat to ice cube. After supplying heat energy to the ice it will turn into water it means there is phase change from solid to liquid due to supplying the heat. Similarly we can change the liquid water into solid ice cube by taking heat energy(reducing temperature) from the liquid water .

In some cases the matter doesn't want to undergo phase transformation. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure.But , it can change to solid state at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?

Tcecarenko [31]

The weight of the meterstick is:
$W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N$
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
$d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m$
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
$M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm$

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
$(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm$
from which we find the value of d2:
$d_2 = \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m$

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
