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

Physics
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
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.

Which interaction of nature depends on the distance through which it acts and is involved in beta decay? a. strong c. electromag
USPshnik [31]

The answer is weak.  The interaction of nature that will depend on the distance through the way it acts and involved in beta decay is the weak interaction or the weak force. This interaction is the responsible for radioactive decay which also plays a significant role in nuclear fission.

When a guitar string plays the note "a," the string vibrates at 440 hz ?
Rama09 [41]
Yes, that's correct. The note "A" (which is used to tune the other strings of the guitar) corresponds to a frequency of 440 Hz.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.9 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

145 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m  

we know,

c = f × λ  

where,

c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency  

thus,

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

f=\frac{3.0\times 10^8 m/s}{2.9m}

f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz  

Now,

The time period (T) = \frac{1}{f}

or

T =  \frac{1}{1.03\times 10^8}  = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds  

thus,

the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s  

Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s  

Now,

For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.

Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.

Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}  

Thus, the minimum distance to target = \frac{290}{2} = 145 m

A boy, standing at point O, is whirling a ball on a string over his head. After several whirls, he lets go of the string and the
Vikki [24]
When a ball is whirled using a string, it is restricted to move only in circular motion because the net force acting on the ball is towards the center of the circle. Hence, the acceleration of the ball is towards the center. But the velocity of ball is tangential to this circular path all the time. When the whirling is stropped, the string becomes slack and tension in the string becomes zero. The ball no more performs circular motion and the ball moves tangentially to the circle in straight line. Therefore, before letting go, velocity was variable. After letting go, velocity becomes constant.
