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.

A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at 140 mi/h. What is its acceleration if it stops in 2.0 seconds?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-31.29\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the aircraft, u = 140 mi/h = 62.58 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

Time taken, t = 2 s

Let a is the acceleration of the aircraft. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{0-62.58}{2}$

$a=-31.29\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the aircraft is $31.29\ m/s^2$ and the car is decelerating. Hence, this is the required solution.

Oysters are filter feeders. They get their food by moving large amounts of water through their bodies and filtering out whatever

Lynna [10]

A. Oysters, clams, and other shellfish are efficient filter feeders that help remove excess nitrogen from waters by incorporating it into their shells and tissue as they grow. ... Adult oysters reportedly can filter up to 50 gallons a day, while large quahogs (hard clams) can clean about 24 gallons of water a day

When two or more forces act together on an object what do they combine to form

Daniel [21]

Without knowing anything about their magnitudes or directions, the only thing you can always say about thier combination is that it's the "net force" on the object.

You drop your cell phone. Prior to hitting the ground, the phone's kinetic energy will ________ and its potential energy will __

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy ${\rm KE}$ of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.

The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy ${\rm GPE}$ of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the

tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.
