Serena is a research student who has conducted an experiment on the discoloration of marble. Read about Serena’s experiment. The

n identify two flaws in her experiment’s design.
Serena sees an article about the Taj Mahal, a medieval marble monument in India. She reads that the white monument is beginning to turn a dull yellow-brown. Serena admires the Taj Mahal and is eager to learn what might be causing the yellowing. She formulates a hypothesis that the yellow-brown tinge may be caused by air pollution from black carbon, brown carbon, or methane, combined with wind erosion.

To test her hypothesis, she decides to study the effects of these air pollutants and wind on white marble. She finds three identical pieces of white marble and exposes one of them to air containing black carbon, one to air with brown carbon, and one to air with methane. She also places a fan on two of the samples, varying the speed of the air stream in regular intervals. After a few days, the marble samples begin changing color, becoming grayish. Serena learns that air pollution caused the discoloration. However, she is not sure how it became gray instead of yellow and what exactly caused the discoloration.

She used identical pieces of marble for her samples.
She introduced at least one confounding variable.
She tried to test multiple hypotheses at a time.
She attributed the marble discoloration to wind erosion.
She used a mechanically-generated air stream rather than natural

The two flaws in her experiment’s design are

<span>- She introduced at least one confounding variable.</span> <span>- She tried to test multiple hypotheses at a time</span>

 In the above mentioned experiment she had to have four samples to prove four hypotheses, each one separately and not to mix two hypotheses in an alone sample, that what it brings as consequence is the confusion.

Three balls with the same radius 21 cm are in water. Ball 1 floats, with
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

The ball floats with half of it exposed above the water level . So it must have density half that of water . In other words its density must have been 500 kg / m³

B )

Tension in the ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball = buoyant force - weight .

4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1000 - 893 )

= 40.65 x 10⁻⁶ N .

C )Tension in the 3 rd  ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball =  weight  - buoyant force

= 4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1320 - 1000  )

=  121.6  x 10⁻⁶ N .

A truck accelerates from a stop to 27m/sec in 9 minutes. What was the trucks acceleration?
stepan [7]
Vi = 0 m/s
Vf = 27 m/s
t = 9 min = 540 s
1 min = 60 s
9 min = 540 s
a = ? m/s^2.

vf = vi + at
27 = 0 + 540a
27 = 540a
27/540 = 540a/540
27/540 = a
0.05 = a.

The truck's acceleration was 0.05 m/s^2.

When a material possesses identical mechanical properties along all directions, it is called a ________ material?
Hunter-Best [27]
<span>This would be an isotropic object. Having isotropy means that, in every direction that the object could be measured, a similar (or the same) value or measure would be reached. This allows an object to be easier to shape and makes it easier to understand and predict the object's behavior under different circumstances.</span>
