What does it mean when it says a scientific question must be supportable

1 answer:

3 0

A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc.

A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

ListenA bicycle and its rider have a combined mass of 80. kilograms and a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude

Setler [38]

Answer:

a) $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-6}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bicycle and rider is -1.5 m/s²

Force

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=80\times -1.5\\\Rightarrow F=-120\ N=-1.2\times 10^2\ N$

The magnitude of the average force needed to bring the bicycle and its rider to a stop is $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

Any example of acceleration related to human body??? <br> answer quickly plz :)

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Acceleration stress, physiological changes that occur in the human body in motion as a result of rapid increase of speed. ... A force of 3 g, for example, is equivalent to an acceleration three times that of a body falling near Earth.

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

$Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T$

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

What is the force on an object that accelerates at 2 m/s/s and has a mass of 120 kg

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

240 Newtons

Explanatiohn:

f = m × a

f = 120 × 2

f = 240 Newtons
