yulyashka [42]2 years ago
8 0

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

A soccer player kicks a ball with initial velocity of 10m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal.....what is the magni
rodikova [14]

Answer: 10m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial Velocity(U) = 10m/s

Angle of inclination = 30°

In other to calculate the magnitude of the vector,

We need to resolve into verti AL and horizontal component.

Vertical component of a vector(Uy) = U × Sinθ

Horizontal component(Ux) = U × Cosθ

Uy = 10 × sin30 = 10 × 0.5 = 5m/s

Ux = 10 × Cos30 = 10 × 0.866 = 8.66m/s

Therefore the magnitude equals :

U = √(Uy)^2 + (Ux)^2

U = √5^2 + 8.66^2

U = √25 + 74.9956

U = √99.9956

U = 9.9997799

U = 10m/s^2

Why would it be hard to find the ideal light intensity if the temperure were very hot or cold?
grandymaker [24]
The correct answer for this question is this one:

Light intensity is not dependent on temperature, with that said, plants (assuming that is what were talking about) would dehydrate faster at a higher temperature (unless they had mechanisms to cope e.g. C4 and CAM plants) with the same light intensity.

Calculate the speed of an object that tavels 62.43m in 38.4s
TiliK225 [7]
The speed of the object can be calculated using the formula:

Speed = distance/time

The given values are:
distance = 62.43 m
time = 38.4 s

Solution:

speed = 62.43 m / 38.4 s = 1.63 m/s

Therefore, the speed of an object that travels 62.43m in 38.4s is <span> 1.63 m/s.</span>

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
madam [21]

The correct answer to the question is : B) 132 Joules.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the gold m = 3 gram.

The initial temperature of the gold T = 21 degree celsius.

The final temperature of the gold  T' = 363 degree celsius.

Hence, the change in temperature  dT = T' - T

                                                          = 363 - 21 degree celsius

                                                          = 342 degree celsius.

The specific heat of the gold is given as c = 0.129\ J/g^0C

We are asked to calculate the heat required ( dQ ) to raise the temperature of gold.

The heat required for this is calculated as -

                                   dQ = mcDT

                                         = 3 × 342 × 0.129 J

                                         = 132.354 J

                                         ≈ 132 J

Hence, the correct answer is 132 J.
