Physics
1 answer:
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

What are 3 criteria for acceleration?
Temka [501]

I don't think you mean 'criteria'.  I think you mean three occurrences or
observations that indicate the presence of acceleration.

They are:

-- an object is speeding up
-- an object is slowing down
-- the direction of an object's motion is changing .

Any one of these changes is acceleration.

There's a single term that covers them all.  It is "change in velocity".

A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 30 m/s and 40 m/s, respectivel
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The time is 5.10 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Component of velocity are 30 m/s and 40 m/s.

We need to calculate the resultant velocity

Using formula of resultant velocity

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{(30)^2+(40)^2}

v=50\ m/s[

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+gt

v = 0+gt

t=\dfrac{v}{g}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{50}{9.8}

t=5.10\ sec

Hence, The time is 5.10 sec.

A 1.2kg ball rolls forward with an acceleration of 1.11 m/s. What is the net force on the ball
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1.332 N

Explanation:

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration
1.2 x 1.11 = 1.332 N

I'm so sorry if I'm wrong.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho
lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.
