In scientific notation, if the exponent of 10 is positive, the number is very very large. In the metric system, very large numbers are expressed in megameters (Mm) or gigameters (Gm). Gigameters is equal to 10⁹ meters. So, in SI prefix, that would be equal to 150 Gm. In kilometers, that would be equal to:
1.5×10¹¹ m * (1 km/1000 m) = 1.5×10⁸ km
Newton’s first law of inertia
Less force, same work
Answer:
Explanation:
Check the attachment for solution
Answer:
The Acceleration will increase
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes places along the direction of the force.
It can be expressed mathematically as,
F ∝ m(v-u)/t
Where (v-u)/t = a
F = kma.
F = force, m = mass of the body, a = acceleration, k = constant of proportionality which tend to unity for a unit force, a unit mass, and a unit acceleration.
Therefore,
F = ma.
From the equation above,
If the net force acting on a body increase, while the mass of the body remains constant, the acceleration will also increase.
All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.
The statement in the question is False
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.
But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.
