What is the experimental variable?

1 answer:

5 0

A variable is any factor, characteristic, or condition that can exist in contrasting sums or sorts. An experiment ordinarily has three sorts of factors: independent, dependent, and controlled.

Please correct any mistakes in my answer!! I'd be happy to fix it!! :)

All galaxies follow the law of gravity. True or False

Juliette [100K]

The answer is true. All the galaxies in the universe follow the law of gravity.

<span>Based from the book, It's about Time: the Illusion of Einstein’s Time Dilation Explained, </span>

Einstein had explained that all the heavenly bodies in the universe follow the same scientific laws that are similar to our solar system. The stars and planets are held by the principles of inertia and gravity

Which of the following options is correct and why?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (e) = The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of infomation in the question given above;

=> "spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin."

=> " A charge Q is placed inside the sphere."

So, the question is that if we are to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located where?

The CORRECT option (e) that is " The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere." Is correct because of the reason given below;

REASON: because the charge is "covered" and the position is unknown, the flux will continue to be constant.

Also, the Equation that defines Gauss' law does not specify the position that the charge needs to be located, therefore it can be anywhere.

Find the angle formed by two forces of 7N and 15N respectively if its result is worth 20N

nadezda [96]

First, you need to make certain assumptions before solving this question. Why? Because there are no information given about the direction of these forces. In such questions as above, ALWAYS make the following assumptions:

1) Take first force, say $F_{1}$ , and assume that it is pointing towards the x-direction.

Let us take the 7N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the force vector would be like:
$F_{1}$ = $7i$ , where $i$ = Unit vector in the x-direction.

2) Take the second force, say $F_{2}$ , and assume that it is making an angle $\alpha$ with the first force $F_{1}$ .

Let us take the 15N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the forces vector would be like:

$F_{2} = (15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now from simple vector addition, we know that,
$F_{R} = F_{1} + F_{2}$ --- (A)

Where $F_{R}$ = Resultant vector.
NOTE: In equation (A), all forces are in vector notation. Assume that there is an arrow head on top of them.

Let us find $F_{1}+F_{2}$ first!
$F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $7i+(15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

=> $F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $(7+15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now the magnitude of $F_{1}+F_{2}$ is,
| $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ (7+ 15*cos \alpha)^{2} + (15*sin \alpha )^{2}}$

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225*(cos \alpha)^{2} + 210*(cos \alpha)+ 255*(sin \alpha )^{2}}$

Since $(sin \alpha)^{2} + (cos \alpha)^{2} = 1$ , therefore,

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Since  | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = | $F_{R}$ |, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 20N, therefore,

| $F_{R}$ | = | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ |
20 = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Take square on both sides,
400 = $49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)$
$(cos \alpha) = \frac{3}{5}$

$\alpha = 53.13^{o}$

Ans: Angle formed by the two forces, 7N and 15N, is: 53.13°
