A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1+Fma=a1+Fm where a1=3.00a1=3.00 meter/second2meter/second2, F=12.0kilogram⋅meter/second2F=12.0kilogram⋅meter/second2 and m=7.00kilogramm=7.00kilogram. First, which of the following is the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for aa?
A traditional unit of length in Japan is the ken (1 ken 1.97 m).What are the ratios of (a) square kens to square meters and (b) cubic kens to cubic meters? What is the volume of a cylindrical water tank of height 5.50 kens and radius 3.00 kens in (c) cubic kens and (d) cubic meters?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably more comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h and (b) 1.0 m/s = 2.2 mi/h.

When a number ends in 5, we arbitrarily choose to write 6.375 m = 6.38 m. We could equally well write 6.375 m = 6.37 m, “rounding down” instead of “rounding up,” because we would change the number 6.375 by equal increments in both cases. Now consider an order-of-magnitude estimate, in which factors of change rather than increments are important. We write 500 m ~ 103 m because 500 differs from 100 by a factor of 5 while it differs from 1 000 by only a factor of 2. We write 437 m ~ 103 m and 305 m ~ 102 m. What distance differs from 100 m and from 1 000 m by equal factors so that we could equally well choose to represent its order of magnitude as ~ 102 m or as ~ 103 m?arrow_forward
