How are scientific methods used to answer a question???

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount

igor_vitrenko [27]

In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide. The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes. Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water. The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide. If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide. Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

2. A 20 cm object is placed 10cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 5cm. Calculate

adoni [48]

Answer:

 » Image distance :

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f} }} \\$

v is image distance
u is object distance, u is 10 cm
f is focal length, f is 5 cm

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{5} }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{10} }} \\ \\ { \tt{v = 10}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: image \: distance \: is \: 10 \: cm \: \: }}}}}$

 » Magnification :

• Let's derive this formula from the lens formula:

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f} }} \\$

» Multiply throughout by fv

${ \tt{fv( \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} ) = fv( \frac{1}{f} )}} \\ \\ { \tt{ \frac{fv}{v} + \frac{fv}{u} = \frac{fv}{f} }} \\ \\ { \tt{f + f( \frac{v}{u} ) = v}}$

• But we know that, v/u is M

${ \tt{f + fM = v}} \\ { \tt{f(1 +M) = v }} \\ { \tt{1 +M = \frac{v}{f} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \mathfrak{formular : } \: { \tt{ M = \frac{v}{f} - 1 }}}}$

v is image distance, v is 10 cm
f is focal length, f is 5 cm
M is magnification.

${ \tt{M = \frac{10}{5} - 1 }} \\ \\ { \tt{M = 5 - 1}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: magnification \: is \: 4}}}}}$

 » Nature of Image :

Image is magnified
Image is erect or upright
Image is inverted
Image distance is identical to object distance.

Define what is physics

Lisa [10]

In my own words, I would say that physics is an area of science that seeks to explain and understand the fundamental nature of the dynamics of objects, essentially defining how objects can interact, in space and in time.
