Answer:

450N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 75kg

Acceleration= 6m/s^2

From the Newtons first law, F=ma

substitute

F=75*6

F= 450N

Hence the force is 450N

What is the significance of a standard system of measurement?

dimulka [17.4K]

Because scientists all over the world are working together, looking for answers to the same questions, just as much as if they all worked in the same physical laboratory in the same building. They need a way to share data and experimental results in a form that everyone can understand. ( D )

Let's say I perform an experiment and get very exciting results. I'm a good scientist, so the next thing I want to do is to publish a complete description of how I did my experiment, and include all of my results. That way, scientists around the world can read about what I did, they can find any mistakes that I made, and they can even repeat my experiment for themselves and see if they get the same results.

Now let's say that my results looked like this:

Result #1).

The reaction stabilized when it reached the rate of 1.26 briligs per tove.

Result #2).

After running at that constant rate for 35 toves, a pile of product was produced whose mass was exactly 61.284 wibbles.

Result #3).

When the pile of product was allowed to settle for another 20 toves, it had spread out, and covered an area of 14.907 square filks.

Do YOU understand my results ?

All those other scientists would have a tough time trying to decide whether my results made sense. And if they repeated my experiment, they would have no way to tell whether their results matched mine or not.

Without a standard system of measurement, and units that mean the same thing to everybody, us scientists literally could not communicate.

Greyhound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but

maw [93]

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Given \; that}}}}}$

★ A grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{To\; find}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

★ The speed of the hound and the hare = 25:18

${\large{\bold{\rm{\underline{Full \; Solution}}}}}$

$\dashrightarrow$ As it's given that a grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

So firstly let us assume a metres as the distance covered by the hare in one leap.

Ok now let's talk about 5 leaps,.! As it's cleared that the hare cover the distance of 5a metres.

But 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

Henceforth, (5/3)a meters is the distance that is covered by the hound.

Now according to the question,

Hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare..! (Same interval)

Now the distance travelled by the hound in it's 5 leaps..!

(5/3)a × 5

25/3a metres

Now the distance travelled by the hare in it's 6 leaps..!

6a metres

Now let us compare the speed of the hound and the hare. Let us calculate them in the form of ratio..!

25/3a = 6a

25/3 = 6

25:18

A parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne

icang [17]

Answer:

1) the capacitance of the capacitor increases. This is due to the induction of opposite charges on the two surfaces of the dielectric by the plate, this increased the charge in the field, from C =Q/v, it is seen that capacitance C will increase with increase in Q since v is constant.

2) the electric field intensity will also increase with increase in electric charges provided plate separation d remains constant.
