Ans: A quantity cannot have units until it has dimensions. A quantity that has dimensions must have units. Yes a quantity have units but still be dimensionless for example,unit of angle is radian ,but it is a dimensionless quantity. A dimensionless quantity may have unit.

Which one has greater potential energy? An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff or a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
  • distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
  • angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

Identify a situation in which you would want to have a high
Andreyy89

Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.

On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.

Suppose a 1300 kg car is traveling around a circular curve in a road at a constant
Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 4212 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1300 kg

Speed of car on the road is 9 m/s

Radius of curve, r = 25 m

We need to find the magnitude of the unbalanced force that steers the car out of its natural straight-  line path. The force is called centripetal force. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{1300\times 9^2}{25}\\\\F=4212\ N

So, the force has a magnitude of 4212 N

When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho
Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.
