The correct answer is B. Measurable

Explanation:

The use of science to investigate a phenomenon implies using measurements and observations to better understand a phenomenon or test a hypothesis. Moreover, science focuses on natural phenomena that can be objectively studied through measurement instruments such as a thermometer, balance, hydrometer, etc.

In this context, for a phenomenon to be studied by science this needs to be measurable because the use of precise instruments as wells as numbers allow scientist to analyze and understand a phenomenon. Moreover, phenomena that depend on personal perspectives and cannot be measure is considered as non-scientific.

A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to

mash [69]

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2

You are asked to find a set of dimensionless parameters to organize data from a laboratory experiment, in which a tank is draine

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Step 1

Given: A tank is drained through an orifice from initial liquid level (h₀). The time(r), to drain the tank, depends on tank diameter (D), orifice diameter (d), acceleration due to gravity (g), liquid density (ρ) and liquid viscosity (μ).

r = f (h₀, D, d, g, ρ, μ)

Step 2

There are totally seven parameters r, h₀, D, d, g, ρ and μ

∴ n = 7

The primary variables are M, L, T

∴ m = 3

So, the number of repeating variables are, r = 3

Select the three repeating variables are ρ, d, g

Then according to Buckingham, there will be n-m (⇒ 7-3 = 4) dimensionless groups given by π₁, π₂, π₃ and π₄

So, The number of π terms = 4

What are some factors that might stop a population's exponential growth

lyudmila [28]

So first of all, you might run out of food, which means that there wont be enough to sustain too many animals/people.
Or, you could simply run out of the space to have any more offspring.
One final one is the introduction of a new predator, which would eat the population, making the growth unpredictable.

Hope this helped!!!! :D

(a) a fundamental law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force exerte

Musya8 [376]

The dimension of force, F is ML/T².

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is a push o push agent which causes a change in the state of rest or motion of an object.

From a fundamental law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force exerted on the object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically; acceleration ∝ F/m

F = ma

dimension of Mass = M

dimension of acceleration = L/T²

dimension of force, F = ML/T²

In conclusion, the dimension of force is obtained from the dimensions of mass and acceleration.
