AI Thread Summary
To convert length measurements to volume, one must cube the length in meters to obtain cubic meters. For example, cubing 12.7 meters results in approximately 2048.4 cubic meters. To convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters, the conversion factor of 1 meter equals 100 centimeters must be cubed, resulting in 1,000,000 cubic centimeters per cubic meter. Finally, to convert cubic centimeters to cubic inches, the conversion factor for inches to centimeters should also be cubed. This method effectively allows for the conversion of 12.7 meters to cubic inches.

Hey guys, I have a question. I understand conversion units but how does one convert from Length to volume.

Example. convert 12.7m to cubic inches? If I am thinking correctly you convert m to m^3 by cubing 12.7 which becomes 2048.4m^3. Is that right? I then find to conversion factor for m to cm right? 1 m = 100cm do I then cube the 100cm like so: 100^3cm^3 Next, I now cube the conversion factor of 1in to cm right?
Is this taking me into the right direction?

Is that complete statement of the problem?
 
yes, convert 12.7m to cubic inches.

That would be right if you were asked to find the volume of a cube of side 12.7m, in terms of cubic inches.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
