Fundamental quantity : quantities which are independent on other physical quantity .

ex: length,mass,time, current, amount of substance, luminous intensity, thermodynamic temperature,

Derived quantity : quantities which are depend on fundamental quantities.

ex: Area, volume, density, speed, acceleration, force, velocity etc.

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi

alexdok [17]

The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

A car runs for about 10 years during its average useful life. If the odometer reads 120,000 miles at the end, what was the avera

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

12000 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance read by the odometer = 120,000 miles

Duration of car, t = 10 years

We need to find the average speed of the car. Speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{120000}{10}\\\\=12000\ mph$

So, the average speed of the car is 12000 mph.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

<em>W=700 Joule</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physics Work </u>

Is the dot product of the force vector by the displacement vector

$W=\vec F \cdot \vec r$

When both the force and the displacements are pointed in the same direction, the formula reduces to its scalar version

$W=F.d$

The weightlifter is applying a net force of 350 N to lift the weights a distance of 2 m, thus the net work done is

$W=350\ N\ .\ 2\ m=700\ Joule$

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$ (1)

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}$

Where $v_2$ is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and $v_1$ the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2 < \theta_1$

This means that

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}$

And therefore,

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}$

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.
