<span>Nonliving things also have unlimited duration of existence. While living things die and decompose, nonliving things such as rocks, mountains, air and water have existed for millions of years. They may grow, but they do so only by accretion, which is the process of growth by accumulating added layers of matter.</span>
Answer:
125.5J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the bowling ball = 6.1kg
Height of lifting = 2.1m
Unknown:
Increase in the ball energy = ?
Solution:
The ball has changed position by moving it from one point to another. So, it has acquired more potential energy.
Potential energy = mgh
m is the mass
g is the gravity
h is the height
Now insert the given parameters and solve;
Potential energy = 6.1 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 125.5J
Everything applies except for the last option
The answer is so that everyone is measuring the same distance and counting that distance as the same everywhere. one example from real life why it is important to use standard units is the loss of the NASA mars orbiter. some people decided that the units were to be in metric and others thought that the units were in imperial (english) system. so the orbiter was lost.
let's eliminate some choices
A. to allow for consistientcy with measurement data:
not really, just make sure the instruments are accurate.
B. to use tools marked in customary units: this could be true because a custom is something that is accepted in a wide area and if it is standard, then it is customary so b is the answer
C. so they can keep measurement data secret: nope
D. to record with easier abbreviations: not really
the answer is B
