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

What happens to a solid when thermal energy is added?

GalinKa [24]

This happens at the boiling temperature of every substance that can vaporize. At the boiling temperature, adding heat energy converts the liquid into a gas WITHOUT RAISING THE TEMPERATURE.The same thing happens when a solid changes into liquid. For instance, ice and water can exist together at the melting temperature.

A 0.500 kg football is thrown with a speed of 15.0 m/s. A stationary receiver catches the ball and brings it to rest in 0.020 s.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

$Imp = 7.5\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

Explanation:

Let assume that direction is positive when football travels to the player. The situation can be described properly by applying the definition of Momentum and Impulse Theorem. That is to say:

$(0.5\,kg)\cdot (15\,\frac{m}{s}) - F \cdot (0.02\,s) = 0\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}$

The average force needed to stop is obtained after some algebraic manipulations:

$F = 375\,N$

The impulse delivered to the ball is:

$Imp = (375\,N)\cdot (0.02\,s)$

$Imp = 7.5\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

In the equation, y = A sin( wt - kx ), obtain the dimensional formula ' w ' and ' k.

babymother [125]

Answer:

In the given equation y=Asin(ωt−kx)

Since, trigonometric function is a dimensionless quantity. So, (ωt−kx)is also dimensionless quantity.

So,

(ωt−kx)=1

ωt=1

[ω]= 1=[T] ^−1

[T]

kx=1

[k]= 1=[L]^ −1
