Both systems have benefits and disadvantages.

Benefits of the Metric System

<span>Easier for anything involving conversions.Celsius is based on the the freezing and boiling points of water.Is the most popular system of measurement worldwide. This gives interchangeability internationally.Other systems of measurement, like U.S. standard units, are tied directly to metric units so they can be converted back and forth.<span>You can sell to the government since governments (including the U.S. government) require government contractors to use the metric system for most things.</span></span>

They're able to understand the results of each others' work, and
repeat someone else's work if they want to, much faster, easier,
and more accurately than if they had to first convert it to different
units.

An open pipe of length 0.39 m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400 Hz what is the distance from the center of

Svetach [21]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Number of harmonics = 3

Now there are 3 loops so here we can say

$3\times \frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.39$

$\lambda = 0.26 m$

now here at the center of the pipe it will form Node

we need to find the distance of nearest antinode

So distance between node and its nearest antinode will be

$d = \frac{\lambda}{4}$

$d = \frac{0.26}{4} = 0.065 m = 6.5 cm$

So the distance will be 6.5 cm

What force is necessary to keep a mass of 0.8 kg revolving in a horizontal circle of radius 0.7 m with a period of 0.5 s? What i

inn [45]

Answer:

88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mv²/r................... Equation 1

F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.

But,

v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2

Where t = time, π = pie

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(2πr/t)²/r

F = 4π²r²m/t²r

F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²

F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Which of the following is not considered a major work flow structure?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Fabrication

Explanation:

A workflow flow is a detailed business process consisting of a series of required interconnected tasks in directed graph format that is executable by workflow management system.

Considering each of the options, we have

A. Work center

This consists of part of the transformation input to output. The location

B. Project

This is the unique identifier of the task to be processed

C. Assembly line

Forms part of the required input where transformation takes place and items are being processed within the assembly line

D. Fabrication

Here the item is fixed, without motion, therefore this is not considered a major work flow structure

E. Continuous flow

Here again, the items are being processed and are in motion, which constitutes a workflow structure.

friction force is the opposition to the motion of surfaces sliding across each other. what is one factor that affects the amount

ruslelena [56]

Answer

Nature of the surfaces.

Explanation

Friction is the the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in relative motion. If two objects are in contact, one of it or both must be in motion for friction to exist.

Friction is affected by a number of factors.

One is the weight of the object. The more the weight of the object the higher the friction between it and the surface.

The other factor is the nature of the surfaces. Rough surfaces contribute to high friction while smooth surfaces reduces the friction between surfaces.
