What conventions are used in SI to indicate units
klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

  • Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
  • Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
  • Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
  • Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
  • While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
  • Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
  • Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k

At which of the following temperature and pressure levels would a gas be most likely to follow the ideal gas law? A. 0 K and 100
bulgar [2K]
The Ideal Gas Law makes a few assumptions from the Kinetic-Molecular Theory. These assumptions make our work much easier but aren't true under all conditions. The assumptions are,

1) Particles of a gas have virtually no volume and are like single points.
2) Particles exhibit no attractions or repulsions between them.
3) Particles are in continuous, random motion.
4) Collisions between particles are elastic, meaning basically that when they collide, they don't lose any energy.
5) The average kinetic energy is the same for all gasses at a given temperature, regardless of the identity of the gas.

It's generally true that gasses are mostly empty space and their particles occupy very little volume. Gasses are usually far enough apart that they exhibit very little attractive or repulsive forces. When energetic, the gas particles are also in fairly continuous motion, and without other forces, the motion is basically random. Collisions absorb very little energy, and the average KE is pretty close.

Most of these assumptions are dependent on having gas particles very spread apart. When is that true? Think about the other gas laws to remember what properties are related to volume.

A gas with a low pressure and a high temperature will be spread out and therefore exhibit ideal properties.

So, in analyzing the four choices given, we look for low P and high T.

A is at absolute zero, which is pretty much impossible, and definitely does not describe a gas. We rule this out immediately.

B and D are at the same temperature (273 K, or 0 °C), but C is at 100 K, or -173 K. This is very cold, so we rule that out.

We move on to comparing the pressures of B and D. Remember, a low pressure means the particles are more spread out. B has P = 1 Pa, but D has 100 kPa. We need the same units to confirm. Based on our metric prefixes, we know that kPa is kilopascals, and is thus 1000 pascals. So, the pressure of D is five orders of magnitude greater! Thus, the answer is B.

A 3858 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.49 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 31.6 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
uranmaximum [27]
The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J

Andrews [41]

Answer:

newton's first law

Explanation:

this is because newton's first law of motion states that every object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless a resultant force acts on it.

hope this helps, if you want more elaboration, tell me
