Answer: For standardization purposes

Explanation:

As the question mentions, there were different types of measurements in the country for the same things so measuring a thing in one type of measurement and then comparing it to another was quite cumbersome.

It also made comparing units with the rest of the world difficult. To combat this the SI system was introduced. It gave an international standard for measuring different things based on the metric system. This allowed for worldwide standardization and comparison as things could now be measured in the same units.

The 5-kg block A has an initial speed of 5 m/s as it slides down the smooth ramp, after which it collides with the stationary bl

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block A, $m_1=5\ kg$

Initial speed of block A, $u_1=5\ m/s$

Mass of block B, $m_2=8\ kg$

Initial speed of block B, $u_2=0$

It is mentioned that if the two blocks couple together after collision. We need to find the common velocity immediately after collision. We know that due to coupling, it becomes the case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum. Let V is the coupled velocity of both the blocks. So,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{5\times 5+0}{(5+8)}\\\\V=1.92\ m/s$

So, the coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the

shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and $frequency = 0.167Hz$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of $\frac{1}{t}$ . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency = $\frac{1}{t}$
