What do you mean by physical quantity

2 answers:

7 0

A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

I cant solve this problem, and our teacher said that this would be in the test we'll have tomorrow, can someone help me?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

$\frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} = mgh$

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

$\sin(15) = \frac{h}{d} \\ or \: h = d \sin(15)$

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

${v}^{2} = 2gd \sin(15)$

Solving for d,

$d = \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) } = \frac{ {(7.5 \: \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)} \\ = 11.1 \: m$

Which three terms are needed to describe the energy a BASE jumper has as she falls toward the ground?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.

A 4kg box is pressed into a spring. The spring constant k=220N/m. The box is released at the bottom of a frictionless ramp and r

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stored elastic energy in the spring helps the box to rise to a height of .75 m

So stored elastic energy = potential energy attained

1/2 k d² = mgh , k is spring constant , d is compression in spring , m is mass of box , h is height attained .

Putting the values

.5 x 220 x d² = 4 x 9.8 x .75

d² = .2673

d = .517 m

51.7 cm .
