Difference between MKS system and CGS system​

Physics
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

MKS stands for Meter, Kilogram and second. In this system of unit mass is given in Kilogram, length in meter and time in second. ... CGS system stands for Centimeter- Gram- Second system. In CGS system, length is measured in centimeters mass is measured in grams and time is in seconds.

Two billiard balls with the same mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. if one ball's initial speed was 2 m/s, and
My name is Ann [436]
<span>The ball with an initial velocity of 2 m/s rebounds at 3.6 m/s
 The ball with an initial velocity of 3.6 m/s rebounds at 2 m/s

   There are two principles involved here
 Conservation of momentum and conservation of energy.
  I'll use the following variables
 a0, a1 = velocity of ball a (before and after collision)
  b0, b1 = velocity of ball b (before and after collision)
 m = mass of each ball.

   For conservation of momentum, we can create this equation:
 m*a0 + m*b0 = m*a1 + m*b1
 divide both sides by m and we get:  
a0 + b0 = a1 + b1

   For conservation of energy, we can create this equation:
 0.5m(a0)^2 + 0.5m(b0)^2 = 0.5m(a1)^2 + 0.5m(b1)^2
 Once again, divide both sides by 0.5m to simplify
 a0^2 + b0^2 = a1^2 + b1^2

   Now let's get rid of a0 and b0 by assigned their initial values. a0 will be 2, and b0 will be -3.6 since it's moving in the opposite direction.
 a0 + b0 = a1 + b1
 2 - 3.6 = a1 + b1
 -1.6 = a1 + b1
 a1 + b1 = -1.6

   a0^2 + b0^2 = a1^2 + b1^2
 2^2 + -3.6^2 = a1^2 + b1^2
 4 + 12.96 = a1^2 + b1^2
 16.96 = a1^2 + b1^2
 a1^2 + b1^2 = 16.96

   The equation a1^2 + b1^2 = 16.96 describes a circle centered at the origin with a radius of sqrt(16.96). The equation a1 + b1 = -1.6 describes a line with slope -1 that intersects the circle at two points. Those points being (a1,b1) = (-3.6, 2) or (2, -3.6). This is not a surprise given the conservation of energy and momentum. We can't use the solution of (2, -3.6) since those were the initial values and that would imply the 2 billiard balls passing through each other which is physically impossible. So the correct solution is (-3.6, 2) which indicates that the ball going 2 m/s initially rebounds in the opposite direction at 3.6 m/s and the ball originally going 3.6 m/s rebounds in the opposite direction at 2 m/s.</span>

Find the distance along an arc on the surface of the earth that subtends a central angle of 1 minutes (1 minute = 1/60 degree).
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1.152 miles

Explanation:

Given: central angle = 1 minute = (\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}

           radius of the earth = 3960 miles

The length of an arc = \frac{\alpha }{360^{o} } 2\pir

where: \alpha is the central angle, and r is the radius.

Thus,

Distance along the arc = \frac{\alpha }{360^{o} } 2\pir

Distance along the arc = \frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}  }{360^{o} } x 2 x \frac{22}{7} x 3960

                                      = \frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}  }{360^{o} } x 24891.4286

                                      = 1.1524

The required distance along an arc is 1.152 miles.

If given both the speed of light in a material and an incident angle. How can you find the refracted angle?
Basile [38]

Answer:

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )

Explanation:

Let the speed of light in vacuum is c and the speed of light in medium is v. Let the angle of incidence is i.

By using the definition of refractive index

refractive index of the medium is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n = c / v  ..... (1)

Use Snell's law

n = Sin i / Sin r

Where, r be the angle of refraction

From equation (1)

c / v = Sin i / Sin r

Sin r = v Sin i / c

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )

Find the x-component of this
valentina_108 [34]

The x-component of this vector inclined from the horizontal axis is  15m.

<h3>What is vector?</h3>

A vector is the representation of a physical quantity in magnitude and direction.

A vector incline at an angle in has two components. On in x direction and other is in y direction.

For the given length of vector = 45.6 m and the angle of inclination from the +x axis θ = 70.8°

The x component of the given vector is

= 45.6cos 70.8°

= 14.99 m

Thus, the x- component of this vector is 15m.
