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.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s

butalik [34]

Answer:

$m=5.51Kg$

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by $W=mg$ , so we can calculate its mass by doing $m=W/g$ , which for our values is:

$m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg$

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

$W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N$

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t

Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, $\epsilon=1.5\ V$

Magnitude of Earth's field, $B=10^{-4}\ T$

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

$\epsilon=NBA\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}$

$\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}$

$\omega=159.15\ rad/s$

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A flat sheet of paper of area 0.365 m2 is oriented so that the normal to the sheet is at an angle of 60 ∘ to a uniform electric

andriy [413]

Answer:

A.) 3.65 N*m²/C B) No C) 0º D) 90º

Explanation:

A) The electric flux, when the electric field is uniform across a gausssian surface, can be calculated as the dot product of the electric field vector, and the vector representing the area of the surface (normal to the surface and directed outward it by convention), as follows:

Flux = E*A*cos φ

where E = 20 N/C, A = 0.365 m², φ = 60º.

Replacing by the values, we can get the value of the electric flux, as follows:

Flux = 20 N/C* 0.365 m²*0.5 = 3.65 N*m²/C

B) While the area remains constant, and doesn't change orientation, the value of the flux will be the same, regardless the shape of the sheet.

C) When the normal to the sheet and the electric field are parallel each other, the surface will intercept the maximum number of field lines, i.e. the flux will be directly E*A*cos 0º = E*A (maximum value possible).

D) When the electric field is tangent to the surface, this means that no field lines will be intercepted by the sheet, so the flux is zero.

In this case, φ = 90º, cos φ = 0

⇒ E*A*cos 90º = E*A*0 = 0
