1 answer:
77julia77 [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Observation is the act of using senses or tools to gather information.

Explanation:

  • Observation is the process of acquiring information from the main source.
  • In living beings, observation requires employing the senses to gather information.
  • In scientific senses, or for the purpose of experiments or research,  Observation is the process of using sense, or tools to gather information and record it.
  • Scientists use observation skills to collect data, and record it to form hypothesis and test it.

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

What is the speed of sound for a noise that travels 2km in 5.8s?​
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.

Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.

So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.

Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.
