Answer:

Fundamental unit is any unit that is not dependent on other units and other units can be derived from them

Explanation:

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz). By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20= 4.051*10^-19 J

A force of 9 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. A mass weighing 6.4 pounds is attached to the spring, and the system is then imme

mart [117]

Answer:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$

Explanation:

let $m$ be the mass attached, let $k$ be the spring constant and let $\beta$ be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}$

where $x(t)$ is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$ shich is the equation of motion.

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. Which of the following statements is not true? A. There must be a

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.

Explanation:

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

a = 0

⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.

The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.

F = m a = 0

⇒ The net force acting on the object must be zero.

So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.
