Answer:TEP 1: State the Problem

A problem is a question to be thought about and either solved or answered. Problems surround all of us. Each day we are faced with more problems than we realize and we use the scientific method to solve them without even thinking about it.

EXAMPLE: The lamp does not come on when you flip the switch.

Your problem may be something that you observe around you or it can be determined by researching a topic and attempting to repeat an experiment of another scientist based on what you are working with.

STEP 2: Make Observations

An observation is the act of recognizing and recording something that is happening. Observing often involves the use of measurements and instruments to take measurements with.

EXAMPLE: (1) There is a light bulb. (2) The switch is in the on position.

(3)Other lights in the house are on. (4) The electrical cord is plugged in.

You make these observations based on the things you see, hear, and in other ways notice going on around you. You may also base your observations on information you found from researching the topic. Maybe you found the manual for the lamp and read about how it is supposed to work. You might have searched for information about Thomas Edison and his invention of the light bulb. These works of others are called background research.

 

STEP 3: Form a Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess meaning an explanation for something that happens based on facts that can then be tested to try and find logical answers.

EXAMPLE: The light bulb is burned out.

Your hypothesis should answer your question of why the lamp does not come on. You can come to this conclusion based on your own knowledge or from researching how a lamp works. We assume that if the lamp is plugged in and turned on that it should light. We also know that if other lights in the house are on, some electricity is running through the house. Your hypothesis does not have to be proven correct by your experiment, it just needs to be testable.

Having more than one hypothesis is fine. There could be a number of reasons why the lamp is not lit and testing them all might be the only way to find an answer. Before beginning to experiment, use logical reason to determine if any of your hypotheses can be eliminated. Maybe the fuse is blown or the outlet is bad. The switch could be wired wrong or broken. These are all testable hypotheses that could be looked into if the light bulb is not the problem.

 

STEP 4: Experiment

An experiment is a step-by-step procedure that is carried out under controlled conditions to attempt to prove a hypothesis, discover and unknown effect or law, or to illustrate a known law.

EXAMPLE: First remove the light bulb and screw it back in tightly to make sure that it was not loose. If that does not work, take the bulb from a lamp you know is working and place it in the broken lamp. If that lights, try another bulb to be sure.

Your experimental set-up should include a control and a variable. You may include more than one variable, but this will increase the size of your experiment. It is also very important to replicate in your experimetal procedure to avoid error. This means that you should try it at least three times. From your experiment you will need to gather data. Data can be organized in charts and or graphs and numerical data should be measured using the metric system.

STEP 5: Draw a Conclusion

A conclusion is a reasonable judgment based on the examination of data from an experiment. The result or outcome of an act or process.

EXAMPLE: The lamp lit after the bulb was changed, therefore the light bulb must have been burned out.

You might also know from experience that if the filament is broken in a light bulb, it will make a rattling sound when you shake the bulb. To confirm your results, you could shake the bul

\. A mixture of gases con-tains oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. What physical process could you use to remove the water vapor
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Condensation.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is much higher than that of either nitrogen or oxygen gas . So when the mixture is condensed  to a temperature lower than

100°C , water vapor will come out first in the form of water leaving other

elements of mixture in gaseous phase. In this way, water vapor will get separated from others.

Explanation:

Hydraulic Pressure-Control, On-Off Deluge Valve

FP-400Y-5DC

The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.

What are the concepts of dynamically continuous innovation and discontinuous innovation? Can you share examples to illustrate th
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Dynamically continuous innovation:

- Falls in between continuous and discontinuous innovation.

-Changes in customer habits are not as large as in discontinuous innovation and not as negligeble as in continuous innovation.

best example can as simple as transformation in  Television. New HD TVs have flat panels, wide screens and improved performance The Added features are considered dynamically improved.

Discontinuous innovation:

- discontinuous innovation comprise of new to world product only so they are discontinuous to every customer segment.

- these product are so fundamentally different from the the product that already exist that they reshape market and competition.

For example- the mobile and the internet technology are reshaping the market through regular innovation and change.

A baseball rolls off of a .7 m high desk and strikes the floor .25 m always how fast was the ball rolling
labwork [276]

Answer:

the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.

Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.

Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:

0.7 = (1/2) g t^2

solve for t:

t^2 = 1.4 / g

t = 0.3779  sec

which we can round to about 0.38 seconds

No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:

horizontal distance covered = vi * t

0.25 = vi * (0.38)

solve for vi:

vi = 0.25/0.38  m/s

vi = 0.65798  m/s

Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s
