How do physicists use measurements to understand the natural world?? Use scientific language to describe your evidence.

Physics

Answer:

Measurements are used to describe quantitatively real-life situations

Explanation:

Measurement refers to the act of assigning a number (with a unit) to a characteristic of an object or an event.

For example: when we want to measure the size of an object, we can use a rule to measure its length, and we assign a number with a unit for that quantity (for example, 5 cm). In this case, we have done a measurement.

Measurements are used by scientists in order to understand the natural worlds. In fact, without measurements it would be impossible to describe phenomena of the real world quantitatively: it would be only possible to describe them qualitatively, and therefore it would not be possible for instance to derive mathematical laws that describe those phenomena.

Why is a control group generally very important in an experiment?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: The control group is the part where you see what happens when you change a variable you want to study/examine. Basically, you need the control group because you need something to see what happens when you change something.

Hope this Helps! :))))

When a particular wire is vibrating with a frequency of 4.00 Hz, a transverse wave of wavelength 60.0 cm is produced. Determine
astraxan [27]

Answer : The speed of waves along the wire is, 1.2 m/s

Explanation :

Formula used :

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency = 4.00Hz=4.00s^{-1}

\lambda = wavelength = 30.0cm=0.3m

c = speed of wave = ?

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get the speed of waves along the wire.

4.00s^{-1}=\frac{c}{0.3m}

c=1.2m/s

Thus, the speed of waves along the wire is, 1.2 m/s

A metal ball is just able to pass through a metal ring. When Anette increases the temperature of the ball, however, it will not
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The size of the hole will increase

Explanation:

Heat is a form of energy that depends to a great extent on the temperature of the system,when a solid is heated there will be increases in it's length,area and volume otherwise known as linear,beta and superficial expansivities respectively.When Annette increased the temperature of the ring she supplied heat to the ring that led to the expansion of the ring,what really happened was that she increased the area expansivities of the ring which is the increase in area per unit area per degree rise in temperature,at such the interior diameter of the ring increase to such an extent that the ball passes through it.
