The scientific method. When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
Answer:
The height of the bridge is 78.4 m.
Explanation:
Given;
time of the stone motion off the bridge, t = 4.0 s
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The height of the bridge is given by;
h = ut + ¹/₂gt²
where;
u is the initial velocity of the stone, u = 0
h = ¹/₂gt²
h = ¹/₂(9.8)(4)²
h = 78.4 m
Therefore, the height of the bridge is 78.4 m.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
momentum of baseball before collision
mass x velocity
= .145 x 30.5
= 4.4225 kg m /s
momentum of brick after collision
= 5.75 x 1.1
= 6.325 kg m/s
Applying conservation of momentum
4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.
v = - 13.12 m / s
b )
kinetic energy of baseball before collision = 1/2 mv²
= .5 x .145 x 30.5²
= 67.44 J
Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J
c )
kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²
= 12.48 J .
kinetic energy of brick after collision
= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²
= 3.48 J
Total kinetic energy after collision
= 15.96 J
You have to use the specific heat equation.
Q = cmΔT where Q is the energy, c is specific heat, m is mass, and ΔT is change in temp.
So we can substitute our variables into the equation.
30000J = (390g)(3.9J*g/C)ΔT
Solving for ΔT, we get:
30000J/[(390g)*(3.9J*g/C) = ΔT
ΔT = 19.72386588C
I'm assuming the temperature is C, since it was not specified.
Hope this helps!
