DEFINE METRIC PREFIX.

Physics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic. Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.

Explanation:

In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth ...

How do latitude and proximity to bodies of water relate to the temperature?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Explanation:

According to geographical coordinates and related information, when the latitude is lower, that is closer to the equator the temperature becomes warmer. While the far away from the equator the latitude is the temperature decreases.

Similarly, the water bodies have a relative effect that is considered little or less severe on the temperature throughout any of the seasonal period or day and night.

If you were in a freely falling elevator and you dropped a pencil. it would hover in front of you. Is there a force of gravityac
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes, there will be a force of gravity acting on the Pencil but it will hover in front of the person because lift would itself having free fall.  

Free is the state of body where gravity is the only force acting on the body while it is falling from a height.

According to the theory of relativity, a body under free fall has no force acting on it.

Anything inside the lift will be experiencing the free fall as they are falling under the influence of gravity completely.

A brick is 32cm long and 10cm wide. It weighs 16N and is lying on the ground. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the grou
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First, we need to convert the dimension from cm to m before plugging it into the equation:

     32 / 100 = 0.32 m

     10 / 100 = 0.1 m

You can use this equation to find the pressure exerted on the ground

     Pressure = Force / Area

Plugging our values in.....

     Pressure = 16 Newtons / (0.1)(0.32)

                     = 16 Newtons / 0.032

                    = 500 N/m^2

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 25 cm apart. The left ring is charged to ? 25 nC and the right ring is charged
MArishka [77]

Answer:

A)   E = 0N/C

B)   0i + 0^^j

C)   F = 0N

D)   0^i  + 0^j

Explanation:

You assume that the rings are in the zy plane but in different positions.

Furthermore, you can consider that the origin of coordinates is at the midway between the rings.

A) In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the middle of the rings, you take into account that the electric field produced by each ring at the origin is opposite to each other and parallel to the x axis.

You use the following formula for the electric field produced by a charge ring at a perpendicular distance of r:

E=k\frac{rQ}{(r+R^2)^{3/2}}               (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C

Q: charge of the ring

r: perpendicular distance to the center of the ring

R: radius of the ring

You use the equation (1) to calculate the net electric field at the midpoint between the rings:

E=k\frac{rQ}{(r^2+R^2)^{3/2}}-k\frac{rQ}{(r^2+R^2)^{3/2}}=0\frac{N}{C}

The electric field produced by each ring has the same magnitude but opposite direction, then, the net electric field is zero.

B) The direction of the electric field is 0^i + 0^j

C) The magnitude of the force on a proton at the midpoint between the rings is:

F=qE=q(0N/C)=0N

D) The direction of the force is 0^i + 0^j
