For the same reason that we need units of length, instead of just "long" or "short". And units of distance instead of "near" and "far". And units of time instead of "early" and "late" or "old" and "new". And units of weight instead of "light" and "heavy". And units of sound-pressure instead of "loud" and "soft".
"Hot" and "cold" mean different things to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person at different times.
A person who grew up in Panama, and comes to visit Chicago in July, says it's cold.
A person who lives in Chicago, and goes to visit Jamaica in January, says it's hot.
A professional chef, following a recipe, can't just cook the steak until it's "hot inside". He needs a number, so he can cook it the same every time.
A technician in a Chemistry lab may have two solutions, and he's supposed to pour half of the cooler one into the warmer one. One of them is 25°C and the other one is 22°C. He's got a problem. He can't tell the difference. He never learned temperature scales. All he knows is "hot" and "cold", and they both feel luke-warm to him. He doesn't even have a way to measure them, because temperature scales were never invented. He's stumped. And while he's standing there scratching his head, both solutions drift to the same temperature, and the lab goes up in flames. The technician is so petrified, he becomes overwhelmed with shame and regret, and makes himself sick and feverish. His forehead feels hot but nobody can measure his temperature, so nobody knows how sick he is.
All because Franz Fahrenheit and Sven Celsius had planned to invent measurable scales in their lab, but decided to go fishing that day.
Light of the same wavelength passes through two diffraction gratings. One grating has 4000 lines/cm, and the other one has 6000 lines/cm. Which grating will spread the light through a larger angle in the first-order pattern
Answer:
6000 lines/cm
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Grating 1=4000 lines/cm
Grating 2=6000 lines/cm
Generally The Spread of fringes is Larger when the Grating are closer to each other
Therefore
Grating 2 will spread the the light through a larger angle in the first-order pattern because its the closest with 6000 lines/cm
A woman pulls on a 6.00-kg crate, which in turn is connected to a 4.00-kg
crate by a light rope. The light rope remains taut. Compared to the 6.00-kg crate,
the lighter 4.00-kg crate
Please explain why any of these multiple choices is correct!
Answer:
B. is subject to a smaller net force but same acceleration.
Explanation:
F = m*a
So because our force applied is constant from the women pulling on the rope which means the acceleration is the same on both the 4kg create and the 6kg create. The only thing that changes here is the mass of the creates, so there is more tension force between the women and the 6kg create then there is between the 4kg create and the 6kg. It takes less force to move the 4kg create therefore the tension force is less between the two creates.
The net force on both crates is the same and the acceleration of both crates is the same.
The given parameters;
mass of the crate, m = 6 kgmass of the second crate, = 4 kgThe force on the 4kg crate is calculated as follows;
[tex]F_{4kg } = T + F[/tex]
The force on the 6kg crate is calculated as follows;
[tex]F_{6 kg} = -T + F[/tex]
The net force on both crates is calculated as follows;
[tex]\Sigma F= -T + F - (T + F)\\\\\Sigma F= -2T[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the net force on both crates is the same and the acceleration of both crates is the same.

A bus starts from rest and accelerates at 1.5m/s squared until it reaches a velocity of 9m/s .the bus continues at this velocity and then deccelerate at -2m/s squared until it comes to stop 400m from it's starting point. how much time did the bus takes to cover the 400m?
Answer:
23s
Explanation:
s=ut+1/2at^2
the distance (s) is 400, initial velocity (u) is 0, acceleration (a) is 1.5 therefore
400=0t+1/2(1.5)t^2
400/0.75=0.75t^2/0.75
t^2=√533.33

Develop a hypothesis regarding one factor you think might affect the period of a pendulum or an oscillating mass on a spring. Potential factors include the mass, the spring constant, and the length of the pendulum's string. Write down your hypothesis. 2. Design a controlled experiment to test your hypothesis. Take extreme care to keep all factors constant except the variable you are testing.
Answer:
A hypothesis for the period of a pendulum is:
"The period of the pendulum varies with its length"
Explanation:
A hypothesis for the period of a pendulum is:
"The period of the pendulum varies with its length"
To test this hypothesis we can carry out a measurement of a simple pendulum keeping the angle fixed, in general the angle used is about 5º since when placing this value in radiand and the sine of this angle they differ little <5%. therefore measured the time of some oscillations, for example about 10 oscillations, changing the length of the pendulum to test the hypothesis.
If the hypothesis and the model used is correct, the relationship to be tested is
T² =(4π² /g) L
by making a graph of the period squared against the length if obtaining, os a line, the hypothesis is tested.

A ball of mass m is dropped from a height h above the ground. neglecting air resistance then determine the speed of the ball when it is at a height y above the ground and determine the speed of the ball at y if at the instant of release it already has an initial upward speed vi at the initial altitude h.
Answer:
Explanation:
kinematic equation (g will have a negative value if we assume UP is positive)
v² = u² + 2as
a) v = √(0² + 2(g)(y - h))
b) v = √(vi² + 2(g)(y - h))
Astronaut Jill leaves Earth in a spaceship and is now traveling at a speed of 0.280c relative to an observer on Earth. When Jill left Earth, the spaceship was equipped with all kinds of scientific instruments, including a meter stick. Now that Jill is underway, how long does she measure the meter stick to be?
A) 0.280 m
B) 1.00 m
C) 0.960 m
D) 1.28 m
E) 1.04 m
(B) 1.00 m
Explanation:
Since the meter stick is traveling with Jill, it will have the same speed as she does so relative to Jill, the meter stick is stationary so its length remains 1.00 m as measured by her.
When astronaut Jill leaves Earth in a spaceship and is now traveling at a speed of 0.280c and measure the meter stick to be 1 meter. Hence, option B is correct.
What is length contraction?Length contraction is defined as the phenomenon of the moving object being shorter than its appropriate length, measured in the object's rest frame.
When the object travels with the speed of light, the length of the object gets more contracted than its original length, relative to the observer. It is also known as the Lorentz-Fitgerald contraction.
Length contraction, L = L₀√(1-v²/c²), where L is the original length, L₀ is the contracted length. c² is known as the velocity of light. v² is the velocity of the speed of the object.
From the given,
speed of the spaceship = 0.280c (c is the speed of the light)
Length contraction, L = L₀ √(1-v²/c²)
The stick also travels in the spaceship. Hence, the length of the meter stick does not change. It remains at its original length of one meter. Thus, the ideal solution is option B.

How much charge is stored on two parallel-plate capacitors by the 12V battery if one is filled with air and the other is filled with a dielectric (k=3.00)
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
how much charge is stored on the parallel-plate capacitors by the 12.0 V battery? One is filled with air, and the other is filled with a dielectric for which k = 3.00; both capacitors have a plate area of 5.00×10 −3 m 2 and a plate separation of 2.00 mm.
The capacitance of the capacitor is the quantity of charge stored by the capacitor.
Given that;
C1= εo k * A/d
εo = permittivity of free space
C1 = 8.85 x 10-12 farad per meter *1 * 5.00×10 −3 m 2/2 * 10^-3

C2 = 8.85 x 10-12 * 3 * 5.00×10 −3 m 2/2 * 10^-3
= 6.63 * 10^-11 F
q1 = C1V1 = 2.21 * 10^-11 C * 12 V

A block of mass 0.260 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 200 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.090 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise
After being released, the restoring force exerted by the spring performs
1/2 (5200 N/m) (0.090 m)² = 12.06 J
of work on the block. At the same time, the block's weight performs
- (0.260 kg) g (0.090 m) ≈ -0.229 J
of work. Then the total work done on the block is about
W ≈ 11.83 J
The block accelerates to a speed v such that, by the work-energy theorem,
W = ∆K ==> 11.83 J = 1/2 (0.260 kg) v ² ==> v ≈ 9.54 m/s
Past the equilibrium point, the spring no longer exerts a force on the block, and the only force acting on it is due to its weight, hence it has a downward acceleration of magnitude g. At its highest point, the block has zero velocity, so that
0² - v ² = -2gy
where y is the maximum height. Solving for y gives
y = v ²/(2g) ≈ 4.64 m

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 9.00 cm from a fixed proton. How fast will the electron be moving when it is 3.00 cm from the proton
Answer:
the speed of the electron at the given position is 106.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
initial position of the electron, r = 9 cm = 0.09 m
final position of the electron, r₂ = 3 cm = 0.03 m
let the speed of the electron at the given position = v
The initial potential energy of the electron is calculated as;
[tex]U_i = Fr = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \times r = \frac{kq^2}{r} \\\\U_i = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.602\times 10^{-19})^2}{0.09} \\\\U_i = 2.566 \times 10^{-27} \ J[/tex]
When the electron is 3 cm from the proton, the final potential energy of the electron is calculated as;
[tex]U_f = \frac{kq^2}{r_2} \\\\U_f = [\frac{(9\times 10^9)\times (1.602 \times 10^{-19})^2}{0.03} ]\\\\U_f = 7.669 \times 10^{-27} \ J \\\\\Delta U = U_f -U_i\\\\\Delta U = (7.699\times 10^{-27} \ J ) - (2.566 \times 10^{-27} \ J)\\\\\Delta U = 5.133 \times 10^{-27} \ J[/tex]
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
ΔK.E = ΔU
[tex]K.E_f -K.E_i = \Delta U\\\\initial \ velocity \ of \ the \ electron = 0\\\\K.E_f - 0 = \Delta U\\\\K.E_f = \Delta U\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \Delta U\\\\where;\\\\m \ is \ the \ mass \ of\ the \ electron = 9.1 1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg\\\\v^2 = \frac{ 2 \Delta U}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{ 2 \Delta U}{m}} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{ 2 (5.133\times 10^{-27})}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\\v = \sqrt{11268.935} \\\\v = 106.2 \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the electron at the given position is 106.2 m/s

In part B of the lab, when the current flows through the orange part of the wire from right to left, the wire deflects (or moves) ____. This is in accordance with the right-hand-rule.
This seems to be incomplete, as we do not have any information about the magnetic field surrounding the wire, but we can answer in a general way.
We know that for a wire of length L, with a current I, and in a magnetic field B, the force can be written as:
F = L*(IxB)
if we define the right as the positive x-axis, and knowing that the current flows to the right, we can write:
I = i*(1, 0, 0)
And the field will be some random vector that can't be parallel to the current because in that case, we do not have any force.
To find the direction of the force, which will tell us the direction in which the wire deflects or moves, first, we need to point with our thumb in the direction of the current, in this case, to the right.
Now, with the hand open, using the tip of our other fingers we point in the direction of the magnetic field.
For example, if the magnetic field is in the positive z-axis, we will point upwards.
Now the palm of our hand tells us in which direction the force is applied.
This is the right-hand rule.
For example, in the case that the current goes to the right and the magnetic field is upwards, we could see that the force is to the front.
Two train 75 km apart approach each other on parallel tracks, each moving at
15km/h. A bird flies back and forth between the trains at 20km/h until the trains pass
each other. How far does the bird fly?
Answer:
The correct solution is "37.5 km".
Explanation:
Given:
Distance between the trains,
d = 75 km
Speed of each train,
= 15 km/h
The relative speed will be:
= [tex]15 + (-15)[/tex]
= [tex]30 \ km/h[/tex]
The speed of the bird,
V = 15 km/h
Now,
The time taken to meet will be:
[tex]t=\frac{Distance}{Relative \ speed}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{75}{30}[/tex]
[tex]=2.5 \ h[/tex]
hence,
The distance travelled by the bird in 2.5 h will be:
⇒ [tex]D = V t[/tex]
[tex]=15\times 2.5[/tex]
[tex]=37.5 \ km[/tex]

You are to connect resistors R1 andR2, with R1 >R2, to a battery, first individually, then inseries, and then in parallel. Rank those arrangements according tothe amount of current through the battery, greatest first. (Useonly the symbols > or =, for exampleseries>R1=R2>parallel.)
Answer:
The current is more in the parallel combination than in the series combination.
Explanation:
two resistances, R1 and R2 are connected to a battery of voltage V.
When they are in series,
R = R1 + R2
In series combination, the current is same in both the resistors, and it is given by Ohm's law.
V = I (R1 + R2)
[tex]I = \frac{V}{R_1 + R_2}[/tex]..... (1)
When they are connected in parallel.
the voltage is same in each resistor.
The effective resistance is R.
[tex]R = \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 + R_2}[/tex]
So, the current is
[tex]I = \frac{V(R_1+R_2)}{R_1 R_2}[/tex]..... (2)
So, the current is more is the parallel combination.
