A skeptical scientist is one who questions the reliability of certain kinds of claims by systematically investigating them. it is an important quality in a Scientist because it helps them remain objective when performing scientific injury and research, it also forces them to examine claims to be certain that there is sufficient evidence to back them up

A small child gives a plastic frog a big push at the bottom of a slippery 2.0 meter long, 1.0 meter high ramp, starting it with

lesya692 [45]

First, let's find the angle of inclination using the tangent function.

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = 1 m/2 m
θ = 30°

Assuming the ramp is frictionless, the force balance is:
F = mgsinθ = ma
Cancelling out m,
a = gsinθ = (9.81 m/s²)(sin 30°) = 4.905 m/s²

Using the equation for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration,
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
2 m = (6 m/s)(t) + 0.5(4.905 m/s²)(t²)
Solving for tm
t = 0.297 seconds

Using the equation for acceleration:
a = (v - v₀)/t
4.905 m/s² = (v - 6 m/s)/0.297 s
Solving for v,
v = 7.46 m/s
