Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

\frac{m}{s}

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units:

\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the unit of force is:

kg\frac{m}{s^2}

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

P=\frac{F}{S} where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

[l^2]=m^2, the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}, the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}, (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}, the unit of work.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15 m/s

Hi guys can you help me with finding advantages with nuclear power?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Low-cost energy. Although building nuclear power plants has a high initial cost, it’s relatively cheap to produce energy from them and they have low operating costs.

Reliable. One of the biggest benefits of nuclear energy is that it is a reliable power generation source.  

Zero carbon emissions. Nuclear power reactors do not produce any carbon emissions.  

Promising future energy supply.
