The correct answer is C. Observation

Explanation:

An observation is a statement a describes a phenomenon, which is the result of measuring the phenomenon or using the senses to collect information about it. Additionally, observations are part of the Scientific method because through observations it is possible to understand phenomena.

The sentence presented is an observation because this statement is the result of the researcher observing or measuring how fast kernels pops, which means the statement derives from studying a phenomenon. Also, this cannot be classified as a hypothesis because a hypothesis is a probable explanation, and it cannot be classified as an experiment because the experiment is the general method to prove or disprove a hypothesis.

Acartravelingat15m/sstartstodeceleratesteadily.Itcomestoacompletestopin10seconds.Whatisit'sacceleration? a. 1500 m/s b. -1.5 m/s
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

b. -1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 15m/s

Time = 10 seconds.

Since the car came to rest, final velocity = 0m/s

To find acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of final speed from the initial speed all over time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{initial \; speed  -  final \; speed}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is initial and final speed respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration, a = \frac{0 - 15}{10}

Acceleration, a = \frac{-15}{10}

Acceleration = -1.5 m/s²

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900J/kg⋅∘C) is heated to 200∘C. The block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: When 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be T = 36.2∘C

If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be = 17.4∘C

If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be= 147.1∘C

Explanation:

H = mcΘ

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

m₁c₁Θ₁ = m₂c₂Θ₂ where m₁ is mass of aluminium, m₂ is mass of water, c₁ is cAluminium, c₂ is cWater, Θ₁ is temperature change for aluminium, Θ₂ is temperature change for water.

0.5*900*(200-20) = m₁*4186*(20-0)

m₁ = 450*180/83270

<em>m₁ = 0.973kg</em>

<em>when 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be </em><em>T</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*900*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

180000 - 900T = 4073T

4973T = 180000

T = 180000/4973 = 36.2∘C

<em>If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*387*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

77400 - 387T = 4073T

4460T = 77400

T = 77400/4460 = 17.4∘C

<em>If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be</em>

<em>heat lost by block = heat gained by water + heat used in melting ice to form water at 0∘C</em>

heat used in melting 0.1kg of ice, H = ml, where l= 33600J/Kg

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.1*4186*(T-0) + 0.1*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  418.6T + 33600

418.6T + 450T = 90000 - 33600

868.6T = 56400

T = 56400/868.6 = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.025*4186*(T-0) + 0.025*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  104.65T + 8400

104.65T + 450T = 90000 - 8400

554.65T = 81600

T = 81600/554.65 = 147.1∘C

When two objects interact, the change in momentum of the first object is ______ the change in momentum of the second object.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. Equal to and Opposite

Explanation:

           when there is no External force acting on the system of bodies then Net momentum of the system is Conserved .

        Given that there are 2 bodies

         Let  P₁ as first object's momentum

                  P₂ as second object's momentum.

                  Total Momentum =P₁ + P₂

           As there is no external force acying on the system

                 Change in the Total momentum is zero

so,

                  0 = Δ P₁ + ΔP₂

                   ΔP₂ = -ΔP₁

                   negative sign indicates opposite direction.

                       Both are of equal magnitude.
