Why is it important that all scientists use the metric system?.

1 answer:

5 0

It is very important that all scientists use the metric system because it is universal - America is the only country that doesn't use the metric system, whereas in the rest of the world, metric system is used. So as not to confuse numbers and do something incorrectly, it is better to use metric system instead.

The tension in a string from which a 4.0 kg object is suspended in an elevator is equal to 44 N. What is the acceleration of the

Ronch [10]

Answer: 1

Explanation:

Given

Tension is the string $T=44\ N$

mass of object $m=4\ kg$

Tension is greater than the weight of the object i.e. elevator is moving upward

we can write

$\Rightarrow T-mg=ma\\\Rightarrow T=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow 44=4(10+a)\\\Rightarrow 11=10+a\\\Rightarrow a=1\ m/s^2$

From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.10 m/s and angle

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$y = 88.5 m$

Part b)

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part c)

equation of position in x direction is given as

$x = v_x t$

equation of position in y direction is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part d)

$x = 30.8 m$

Part e)

H = 88.5 m

Part f)

t = 1.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that ball is projected with speed

v = 8.10 m/s at an angle 18 degree below the horizontal

so we will have

$v_x = 8.10 cos18$

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 8.10 sin18$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part a)

Since it took t =4 s to reach the ground

so its initial y coordinate is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}a_y t^2$

$y = 2.5(4) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(4^2)$

$y = 88.5 m$

Part b)

components of the velocity is given as

$v_x = 8.10 cos18$

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 8.10 sin18$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part c)

equation of position in x direction is given as

$x = v_x t$

equation of position in y direction is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part d)

distance where it will strike the floor is given as

$x = v_x t$

$x = 7.7 \times 4$

$x = 30.8 m$

Part e)

Height from which it is thrown is same as initial y coordinate of the ball

so it is given as

H = 88.5 m

Part f)

time taken by ball to reach 10 m below is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = 2.5t + \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

t = 1.2 s

A particle travels along the curve from A to B in 5 s. It takes 8 s for it to go from B to C and then 10 s to go from C to A. De

Elza [17]

Answer:

5.1 m/s

Explanation:

The figure is missing: find it in attachment.

In order to find the average speed, we have to calculate the length of the total path, and divide it by the total time elapsed.

The curve from A to B is a quarter of a circle with a radius of r = 20 m, so its length is:

$AB=\frac{\pi r}{2}=\frac{\pi (20)}{2}=31.4 m$

The path BC is the hypothenuse of a right triangle with sides equal to 20 m and 30 m, so its length is

$BC=\sqrt{30^2+20^2}=36 m$

Finally, the length of the path AC is the sum of the side of 30 m and the radius of the curve, so

$AC=30 + 20 = 50 m$

So the total distance covered is

$d=AB+BC+AC=31.4+36+50=117.4 m$

The total time elapsed is

$t=5 s + 8 s + 10 s =23 s$

So, the average speed is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{117.4}{23}=5.1 m/s$
