In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation

1 answer:

8 0

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.

The perihelion of the comet TOTAS is 1.69 AU and the aphelion is 4.40 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 28 km/s, what is

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The speed at the aphelion is 10.75 km/s.

Explanation:

The angular momentum is defined as:

$L = mrv$ (1)

Since there is no torque acting on the system, it can be expressed in the following way:

$t = \frac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}$

$t \Delta t = \Delta L$

$\Delta L = 0$

$L_{a} - L_{p} = 0$

$L_{a} = L_{p}$ (2)

Replacing equation 1 in equation 2 it is gotten:

$mr_{a}v_{a} =mr_{p}v_{p}$ (3)

Where m is the mass of the comet, $r_{a}$ is the orbital radius at the aphelion, $v_{a}$ is the speed at the aphelion, $r_{p}$ is the orbital radius at the perihelion and $v_{p}$ is the speed at the perihelion.

From equation 3 v_{a} will be isolated:

$v_{a} = \frac{mr_{p}v_{p}}{mr_{a}}$

$v_{a} = \frac{r_{p}v_{p}}{r_{a}}$ (4)

Before replacing all the values in equation 4 it is necessary to express the orbital radius for the perihelion and the aphelion from AU (astronomical units) to meters, and then from meters to kilometers:

$r_{p} = 1.69 AU x \frac{1.496x10^{11} m}{1 AU}$ ⇒ $2.528x10^{11} m$

$r_{p} = 2.528x10^{11} m x \frac{1km}{1000m}$ ⇒ $252800000 km$

$r_{a} = 4.40 AU x \frac{1.496x10^{11} m}{1 AU}$ ⇒ $6.582x10^{11} m$

$r_{p} = 6.582x10^{11} m x \frac{1km}{1000m}$ ⇒ $658200000 km$

Then, finally equation 4 can be used:

$v_{a} = \frac{(252800000 km)(28 km/s)}{(658200000 km)}$

$v_{a} = 10.75 km/s$

Hence, the speed at the aphelion is 10.75 km/s.

How do you find the efficiency of a motorized machine given the work input and output?

Leya [2.2K]

The efficiency of a machine indicates how well its input energy is converted to useful output energy or work. It is a major factor in the usefulness of a machine and is the fraction or percentage of the output divided by the input.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the total output energy or work must equal the total input energy. However, some of the input energy does not contribute to the output work and is lost to such things as friction and heat.

Examples of machine efficiency include a lever, automobile, and perpetual motion machine.

A cinder cone is formed from relatively ________ viscosity magma with a ________ gas content. low; high high; high low; low high

kenny6666 [7]

A cinder cone is formed from relatively low viscosity magma with a high gas content. Cinder cones are formed by the volcanic ash, cinders that are formed around the volcanic vent. Cinder cones have a bowl shaped crater and the shape of the cinder cones depend on the ejected particles that formed the cinder.

The following are the Earth–Sun distance at the equinoxes and solstices: March equinox 149.0 million km June solstice 152.0 mill

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

During winter (late December/early January) the Earth is closest to the Sun and during summer (late June/early July) the Earth is farthest from the Sun.

Explanation:

In the northern hemisphere, the earth usually comes closer to the sun during the time of winter season, mostly in late December or early January.

On the other hand, the earth is farthest from the sun during the time of summer season, mostly in late June or early July.

When the earth is closer to the sun, during the winter, it is comparatively cold. It is due to the absorption of a lesser amount of incoming solar radiation. The tilt of the earth is also responsible for this low temperature.

But, when the earth is farthest from the sun, during the summer, it is comparatively hot. It is due to the absorption of a large amount of incoming solar radiation.
