Answer:

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

A 300 kg piano needs to be moved to the other side of the room. The maximum static frictional force is equal to 90 N and the kin

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a = 0.1 m/s²

Explanation:

If the maximum static frictional force is 90 N, this means that any applied force that will overcome this force, will cause the piano to slide, so kinetic frictional force applies.
Under these conditions, the net force in the horizontal direction is just the difference between the applied force (which is larger that the static friction force) and the kinetic frictional force, as follows:

$F_{net} = F_{app} -F_{frk} = 100 N - 70 N = 30 N (1)$

By the same token, according Newton's 2nd Law, this force is just equal to the product of the mass of the piano, times the acceleration, as follows:

$F_{net} = m* a = 300 Kg * a = 30 N (2)$

Solving for a:

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m} = \frac{30 N}{300kg} = 0.1 m/s2 (3)$

What is the purpose of a free body diagram

Amiraneli [1.4K]

<span>A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces.

Write a explanation explaining why red is a beautiful color is not a hypothesis

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.

The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.
