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.

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase, F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

W = 60 N x 10 m

= 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

In the mobile m1=0.42 kg and m2=0.47 kg. What must the unknown distance to the nearest tenth of a cm be if the masses are to be

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

The first mass is $m_1 = 0.42kg$

The second mass is $m_2 = 0.47kg$

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

Therefore we can say that

$m_1 * 15cm = m_2 * xcm$

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}$

$= \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}$

$x = 13.4 cm$

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged is as a result of the masses ( $m_1 + m_2$ )
