what is the difference between MKS system and SI system of measurement​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The MKS (metre, kilogram, second) system of units is the fundamental core of the SI (Systeme Internationale, or International System) of measurement. As various fields grow new forms of measurements based on MKS, terms or exact definitions may vary in different scientific or engineering disciplines. These inconsistencies are sorted out by the international committee that defines the SI system of units and keeps it up to date.

So the MKS is the static core, and the SI is the evolving, growing system of metric measurement.

Metres and kilograms were introduced after the French Revolution around 1790. Seconds were added by the 1830s, building the MKS system. More units came later. By 1948, a need was seen to develop a clear and consistent set of terms for measurement, and this led to 12 years of work, ending with the release of the first version of the SI in 1960.

The SI now has seven base units of measure. It begins with the original three metre, kilogram, and second, and adds the ampere for electricity, candela for light, kelvin for temperature, and mole for amount (number of atoms or molecules) of a substance.

The SI defines how each fundamental unit can be measured or obtained experimentally. These definitions have changed over time. For example, the metre was originally a measure related to the circumference of the Earth, then a set number of waves of a particular wavelength, and now a distance traveled by light in a vacuum in a certain period of time.

The SI also defines modifying terms such as milli-, centi-, and kilo- that are a specific number of each unit.

The SI includes many other derived units, as well.

By standardizing international use of measurements across different fields of science and engineering, the SI reduces confusion that would slow scientific progress and error that can produce engineering catastrophe such as the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999 due to a table that should have been in metric units (kilograms and meters) being provided in United States customary units (pounds and inches).*

The Mars Climate Orbiter and its mission were lost due to a failure to use SI units consistently.

Which statement describes a property of a proton?

Answers

Answer:

They have no charge and are present in the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative charge and travel around the nucleus of an atom. They have a positive charge and travel around the nucleus of an atom

Explanation:

The electrons, which are negatively charged particles, are drawn to the protons because they have a positive electric charge. This keeps them in an orbit around the nucleus. A proton, therefore, possesses the quality of a positive charge.

What is proton?

The proton is a stable subatomic particle with a rest mass of 1.67262 1027 kg, or 1,836 times the mass of an electron, with a positive charge that is equal to one electron's charge in magnitude.

All atomic nuclei, except for the hydrogen nucleus, are composed of protons and neutrons, which are electrically neutral particles (which consist of a single proton). A given chemical element's nuclei all contain the same number of protons.

They exist in the atom's nucleus and are not charged. They move around the atomic nucleus and have a negative charge. Likewise, they move about an atom's nucleus and have a positive charge.

Typically, a proton is made up of three quarks, which are tiny subatomic particles.

The protons are the electrically charged atom-nucleus particles that help hold the nucleus of an atom together.

A foot is 12 inches and a mile is 5280 ft, exactly. A centimeter is exactly 0.01m or mm. Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall. What is Sammy's Height in inches?

Answers

The answer is 65.3 inches tall

Explanation:

To know the heigh of Sammy in inches it is necessary to convert the 5 feet to inches and add this number to 5.3 inches as the statement mentions "Sammy is 5 feet and 5.3 inches tall". Additionally, it is known each foot is equal to 12 inches ( 1 foot = 12 inches). According to this, the simplest method to convert feet to inches is to multiply the feet given by 12. The process is shown below:

1 foot  = 12 inches

feet to inches =  number of feet x 12

5 feet x 12 = 60 inches

This means 5 feet is equal to 60 inches. Now, 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches (total height of Sammy in inches)

Answers

Answer:

The maximum induced emf is 15.08 V

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the generator, N = 6 turns

area of the loop, A = 0.04 m

magnetic field of the loop, B = 0.2 T

frequency of loop, f = 50 Hz

The  maximum induced emf is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

ω is the angular speed = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

E = 6 x 0.2 x 0.04 x (2 x 3.142 x 50)

E = 15.08 V

Therefore, the maximum induced emf is 15.08 V

Can someone please illustrate how the refracted ray will look like?

Answers

Answer

As the angle of incidence increases in Figure 2.8, a point is finally reached where the refracted ray does not emerge at the second layer but lie along the interface. This particular angle of incidence at which the angle of refraction is 90° and the refracted ray lies along the interface is known as the critical angle. At and beyond the critical angle, there is no transmitted ray and therefore a very high reflected ray will be recorded .

Therefore,

sinθisin90=Vp1Vp2

But, sin 90 = 1.

At critical angle,

sinθcritical=Vp1Vp2

A critical refracted wave travels along the interface between layers and is refracted back into the upper layer at the critical angle. The waves refracted back into the upper layer are called head waves or first-break refractions because at certain distances from a source, they are the first arriving energy. Recorded first-break refraction is shown in Figure 2.10.

Note that these first-break refractions can give us important information about the shallow velocities on land seismic data.

Note also that seismic data are acquired in such a way that reflections from horizons of interest are in the pre-critical region, even at the farthest offset in the data.

In reality, part of the seismic energy arriving at an interface is transmitted and refracted, and another part of the energy is reflected at that same interface. Given that there are many reflectors in the subsurface, there will be many paths from source to receiver, each of them with a different travel time. The proportion of energy reflected depends on the material properties of the two bounding layers and on the angle of incidence

You need to repair a broken fence in your yard. The hole in your fence is around 3 meters in length and for whatever reason, the store you go to has oddly specific width 20cm wood. Each plank of wood costs $16.20, how much will it cost to repair your fence?

Answers

The correct answer is $243

Explanation:

The hole in the fence is 3 meters, this means it is necessary to buy wood that covers this distance. Now, each meter is equal to 100 centimeters, this means 3 meters is equivalent to 300 centimeters ( 100 cm in each meter x 3). Besides this, it is known each plank covers 20cm and costs $16.20. In this context, the next step is to find how many planks are needed. The process is shown below:

300 cm (total width) ÷ 20 cm (width of 1 plank) = 15 planks

This means 15 planks are needed. Finally, fin the total cost

15 planks x $16.20 (cost of 1 plan) = $243

If you run at 1.7 m/s FORWARD ,how does this affect the speed of a ball that you throw?

Answers

We have a problem about conservation and velocity, we will find that it does affect the speed of the ball, increasing it by 1.7m/s.

There is something called momentum, which we can define as the "quantity of movement", and we can simply write as the product between velocity and mass.

The momentum is conservative, then we have conservation of momentum.

This means that when you run whit the ball in your hands, the momentum of the ball will be equal to your velocity times the mass of the ball, and this must conserve after you throw the ball.

Now with this idea in mind, this means that if you run with a velocity V, and you throw the ball with a velocity V', the velocity of the ball when it leaves your hand will be:

V + V'.

So, if you run with a velocity of 1.7m/s forward and you throw the ball (assuming in the same direction) the speed of the ball will be 1.7m/s larger than if you were to throw it standing still.

An emf of 22.0 mV is induced in a 519-turn coil when the current is changing at the rate of 10.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux through each turn of the coil at an instant when the current is 3.70 A?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\phi=1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Emf, V = 22 mV

Number of turns in the coil us 519

Rate of change of current is 10 A/s.

We need to find the magnetic flux through each turn of the coil at an instant when the current is 3.70 A.

Let's find the inductance first. So,

[tex]L=\dfrac{\epsilon}{(dI/dt)}\\\\L=\dfrac{0.022}{10}\\\\L=0.0022\ H[/tex]

We have,

[tex]L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}[/tex], [tex]\phi[/tex] is magnetic flux

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{LI}{N}\\\\\phi=\dfrac{0.0022\times3.7}{519}\\\\\phi=1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb[/tex]

So, the magnetic flux is [tex]1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb[/tex].

Explanation:

Use the formula for the formation of image using a divergent mirror and recalling that the image (s') that this mirror formed is virtual, so it is entered as a negative number in the formula. Use the object position (s) as 10, the image position (s') as -2, and derive the value of the focal length:

[tex]\frac{1}{s} +\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} -\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{10\,f}{10} -\frac{10\,f}{2}=\frac{10\,f}{f}\\f-5\,f=10\\-4\,f=10\\f=-2.5\,\,cm[/tex]

Compare diffusion of chlorine gas into air and into vaccuum. Explain your answer​

Answers

Answer:

Diffusion depends among many other things also upon the concentration gradient of the diffusing substance.For example if there are two boxes with given particles first isolated from each other and if they are bought in contact, then there is a net diffusion of particles from a box with higher concentration of particles to box with lower concentration. And also diffusion rate depends at any instant directly on the concentration difference between them at that instant.Now the vaccum is equivalent to an empty box which means with this one leads to a maximum diffusion rate when bought in contact with a box with particles because there is maximum concentration difference.That is vaccum is empty ( except for energy perturbations and a small concentration of particles which will be zero for our purpose) and any bunch of particles will find least resistance to diffuse as just outside this bunch there is ‘0' concentration of the particles.

If a lever lifts a load four times the effort applied and effort distance is 5 times the load distance, calculate its efficiency​

Answers

Answer:

If effort distance was 4 times, efficiency would be 100%.

Since it takes 5 times for effort distance, efficiency drops to output/input

output is 1*F

input is (1/4*F)*5

so: F/1/5*F/4 = 4F/5F = .8 or 80%

The efficiency of the lever is 80%.

To calculate the efficiency of the lever, we can use the formula for mechanical advantage and efficiency.

Mechanical Advantage (MA) is the ratio of the load (L) to the effort (E) in a lever system:

MA = Load / Effort

Given that the load is four times the effort applied:

Load = 4 * Effort

Also, the effort distance (dEffort) is five times the load distance (dLoad):

dEffort = 5 * dLoad

Now, we can write the formula for efficiency (η) of a lever system:

Efficiency (η) = (Mechanical Advantage / Ideal Mechanical Advantage) * 100%

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is the ratio of the effort distance to the load distance:

IMA = dEffort / dLoad

Substitute the given values into the IMA equation:

IMA = (5 * dLoad) / dLoad

IMA = 5

Now, we can calculate the Mechanical Advantage (MA) using the relationship between the load and effort:

MA = Load / Effort

MA = (4 * Effort) / Effort

MA = 4

Finally, we can calculate the efficiency (η):

Efficiency (η) = (Mechanical Advantage / Ideal Mechanical Advantage) * 100%

η = (4 / 5) * 100%

η = 0.8 * 100%

η = 80%

The efficiency of the lever is 80%.

Dennis throws a volleyball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 1.1\, \text s1.1s1, point, 1, start text, s, end text later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the volleyball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air?

Answers

Answer:

If max height = 1.1 meters, then initial velocity is 3.28 m/s

If max height is 1.1 feet, then the initial velocity is 5.93  ft/s

Explanation:

Recall the formulas for vertical motion under the acceleration of gravity;

for the vertical velocity of the object we have

[tex]v=v_0-g \,t[/tex]

for the object's vertical displacement we have

[tex]y-y_0=v_0\,t - \frac{g}{2} \,t^2[/tex]

If the maximum height reached by the object is given in meters, we use the value for g in [tex]m/s^2[/tex] which is: [tex]9.8\,\,m/s^2[/tex]

If the maximum height of the object is given in feet, we use the value for g in  [tex]ft/s^2[/tex]  which is : [tex]32\,\,ft/s^2[/tex]

Now, when the ball reaches its maximum height, the ball's velocity is zero, so that allows us to solve for the time (t) the process of reaching the max height takes:

[tex]v=v_0-g \,t\\0=v_0-g \,t\\g\,\,t=v_0\\t=\frac{v_0}{g}[/tex]

and now we use this to express the maximum height in the second equation we typed:

[tex]y-y_0=v_0\,t - \frac{g}{2} \,t^2\\max\,height=v_0\,(\frac{v_0}{g}) - \frac{g}{2} \,(\frac{v_0}{g})^2\\max\,height= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,g}[/tex]

Then if the max height is 1.1 meters, we use the following formula to solve for [tex]v_0[/tex]:

[tex]1.1= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,9.8}\\(9.8)\,(1.1)=v_0^2\\v_0=10.78\\v_0=\sqrt{10.78} \\v_0=3.28\,\,m/s[/tex]

If the max height is 1.1 feet, we use the following formula to solve for [tex]v_0[/tex]:

[tex]1.1= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,32}\\(32)\,(1.1)=v_0^2\\v_0=35.2\\v_0=\sqrt{35.2} \\v_0=5.93\,\,ft/s[/tex]

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 7.40 cm on each side and 3.20 mm apart. The space between the plates is completely filled with two square slabs of dielectric, each 7.40 cm on a side and 1.60 mm thick. One slab is Pyrex glass and the other slab is polystyrene. If the potential difference between the plates is 84.0 V, find how much electrical energy (in nJ) can be stored in this capacitor.

Answers

Answer:

The energy that can be stored in the capacitor is 239 nJ

Explanation:

We first calculate the capacitance of each material. Let C₁ be the capacitance of pyrex glass and C₂ be the capacitance of polystyrene.

C₁ = κ₁ε₀A/d where κ₁ = dielectric constant of pyrex glass = 5, A = area of plates = L² where L = length of square plate = 7.40 cm = 7.40 × 10⁻² m and d = thickness of pyrex slab = 1.60 mm = 1.60 × 10⁻³ m and ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

C₁ = κ₁ε₀A/d = κ₁ε₀L²/d = 5 × 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × (7.40 × 10⁻² m)²/1.60 × 10⁻³ m = 2424.2252/1.60 × 10⁻¹¹ F = 1515.14 × 10⁻¹¹ F = 15.2 × 10⁻⁹ F = 15.2 nF

C₂ = κ₂ε₀A/d where κ₂ = dielectric constant of polystyrene = 3, A = area of plates = L² where L = length of square plate = 7.40 cm = 7.40 × 10⁻² m and d = thickness of polystyrene slab = 1.60 mm = 1.60 × 10⁻³ m and ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

C₁ = κ₁ε₀A/d = κ₁ε₀L²/d = 3 × 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × (7.40 × 10⁻² m)²/1.60 × 10⁻³ m = 1454.5351/1.60 × 10⁻¹¹ F = 909.08 × 10⁻¹¹ F = 9.09 × 10⁻⁹ F = 9.09 nF

Since the capacitors are in series, we find their effective capacitance C from

1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

C = C₁C₂/(C₁ + C₂)

= 15.2 × 10⁻⁹ F × 9.09 × 10⁻⁹ F/(15.2 × 10⁻⁹ F + 9.09 × 10⁻⁹ F)

= 138.168 × 10⁻¹⁸/24.29 × 10⁻⁹ F

= 5.69 × 10⁻⁹ F

The amount of electrical energy stored in a capacitor is given by W = 1/2CV² where C = capacitance and v = voltage applied. Now C = 5.69 × 10⁻⁹ F and V = 84.0 V for this capacitor

So W = 1/2 × 5.69 × 10⁻⁹ F × 84.0 V

= 238.98 × 10⁻⁹ J

≅ 239 × 10⁻⁹ J

= 239 nJ

So the energy that can be stored in the capacitor is 239 nJ
