Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
SI system has seven base units which further help to define 22 derived units. Prefix multipliers are used to express multiple or fractional of a quantity.
SI units table:
| S. No. | Quantity | SI unit | SI Unit Symbol |
| 1 | Length | Meter | m |
| 2 | Mass | Kilogram | kg |
| 3 | Time | Second | s |
| 4 | Ampere | A | |
| 5 | Kelvin | K | |
| 6 | Amount of substance | Mole | mol |
| 7 | Luminous Intensity | Candela | cd |
SI stands for Système International. It is a metric system that is accepted internationally. It is important to have a standard system of measurements which accepted universally to avoid confusion.

One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 6.10 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 7.40 m high, forming a 1.30 m high railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 8 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

- It is not possible to see very small objects, such as viruses, using an ordinary light microscope. An electron microscope can view such objects using an electron beam instead of a light beam. Electron microscopy has proved invaluable for investigations of viruses, cell membranes and subcellular structures, bacterial surfaces, visual receptors, chloroplasts, and the contractile properties of muscles. The "lenses" of an electron microscope consist of electric and magnetic fields that control the electron beam. As an example of the manipulation of an electron beam, consider an electron traveling away from the origin along the x axis in the xy plane with initial velocity ₁ = vi. As it passes through the region x = 0 to x=d, the electron experiences acceleration a = ai +a, where a and a, are constants. For the case v, = 1.67 x 107 m/s, ax = 8.51 x 1014 m/s², and a = 1.50 x 10¹5 m/s², determine the following at x = d = 0.0100 m.
