Answer:

Measurement is the process of finding the length, size, or quantity of a substance. ... A physical quantity (like length) has to be measured with respect to some fixed quantity. A fixed quantity with respect to which a physical quantity is measured is called a unit. A unit is used as a standard of measurement.

Why does water feel cool when it evaporates

Illusion [34]

First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporate in an environment where there isn't muchwater in the air. In a place with high humidity, there're already lots of water molecules in the air.

A yo‑yo with a mass of 0.0800 kg and a rolling radius of =2.70 cm rolls down a string with a linear acceleration of 5.70 m/s2.

N76 [4]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 0.08 kg

Radius of the path, r = 2.7 cm = 0.027 m

The linear acceleration of a yo-yo, a = 5.7 m/s²

We need to find the tension magnitude in the string and the angular acceleration magnitude of the yo‑yo.

(a) Tension :

The net force acting on the string is :

ma=mg-T

T=m(g-a)

Putting all the values,

T = 0.08(9.8-5.7)

= 0.328 N

(b) Angular acceleration,

The relation between the angular and linear acceleration is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{a}{r}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{5.7}{0.027}\\\\=211.12\ m/s^2$

(c) Moment of inertia :

The net torque acting on it is, $\tau=I\alpha$ , I is the moment of inertia

Also, $\tau=Fr$

So,

$I\alpha =Fr\\\\I=\dfrac{Fr}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{0.328\times 0.027}{211.12}\\\\=4.19\times 10^{-5}\ kg-m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.
