Answer:

formal operational

Explanation:

The Formal operational thinking has tested experiments using the pendulum. The method involved three factors (variables) the length of the string, the weight of the object and the force or impulse that is printed on it. The task was to find out which factor is most important to determine the swing speed of the pendulum. Children who have already reached the formal operational stage solve the task systematically, testing one variable at a time.

point) A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is

Sergio [31]

Answer:

(a) 86.65 J

(b) 149.65 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the pool, d = 12 m

⇒ Radius of the pool, r = 6 m

Height of the pool, H = 3 m

Depth of the pool, D = 2.5 m

Density of water, $\rho_{w} = 1000\ kg//m^{3}$

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $9.8\ m/s^{2}$

Now,

(a) Work done in pumping all the water:

Average height of the pool, h = $\frac{H + D}{2}$

h = $\frac{3 + 2.5}{2} = 2.75\ m$

Volume of water in the pool, V = $\pi r^{2}h = \pi \times 6^{2}\times 2.75 = 311.02\ m^{3}$

Mass of water, $m_{w} = \frac{\rho_{w}}{V}$

$m_{w} = \frac{1000}{311.02} = 3.215\ kg$

Work done is given by the potential energy of the water as:

$W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 2.75 = 86.65\ J$

(b) Work done to pump all the water through an outlet of 2 m:

Now,

Height, h = 2.75 + 2 = 4.75

Work done, $W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 4.75 = 149.65\ J$

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat

RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

$C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\$

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

$Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}$

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

$E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2$

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lift is going down with acceleration

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 6 m/s

distance s = 15.25 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

6² = 0 + 2 x a x 15.25

a = 1.18 m /s²

Elevator is going down with acceleration .

mg - T = ma where T is tension in the cable .

722 x 9.8 - T = 722 x 1.18

7075.6 - T = 851.96

T = 6223.64 N .
