Scientists need to know how to make measurements

Part of the scientific process involves sharing your results with other scientists. To do this, we all need to use the same measurement system, which you'll learn about in this lesson.

Imagine you're trying to find out how much an elephant weighs. You're pretty sure it weighs a lot, but you don't know the exact number. So you ask your teacher, and she tells you an elephant weighs the same as three hippos.

Well that's nice to know, but how much does a hippopotamus weigh? Again, you ask your teacher, and she tells you a hippopotamus weighs the same as five alligators. That's a cool fact to know, but you still don't understand how much an elephant weighs because comparing elephants to alligators can be confusing.

plz mark me as brainliest :)

v2 = m v1 / (m + M)

v2 = 7 * 74 / (74 + 65)

3.73 m/s

74 kg is too heavy for the cannonball (over 150 lbs)

avanturin [10]

If the two waves have the SAME FREQUENCY and are exactly
out of phase (180° apart), then the resultant wave will have the
same frequency and an amplitude of 1 unit.

If the two waves do not have the SAME FREQUENCY, then their
relative phase is meaningless.

Is this statement true or false concerning squall line thunderstorm development? These often form ahead of the advancing front b

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: The following statement is true about squall line thunderstorm development: These often form ahead of the advancing front but rarely behind it because lifting of warm, humid air and the generation of a squall line usually occur in the warm sector ahead of an advancing cold front. Behind a cold front, the air motions are usually downward, and the air is cooler and drier.

An upper-level wave, accountable for the fabrication of a squall line, extend in front of and backside a cold front, the air backside the front is cold, steady and settling while the air ahead of the front is hot and co-seismic.
