Explanation:

This is because the other variables in the other choices are relative to different observers and hence are not good to use in an experiment because there will be a lot of inherent bias by the person conducting the experiment For example how one person views how strong or beautiful the maple or oak looks may be different from how another person perceives the same.

However, weight is an absolute SI unit and does not vary from experiment to experiment. It is, therefore, a non-biased variable to use in the experiment and determine which wood between oak and maple can hold more weight.

An apple weighs 1.00 N. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.50 N/m and negligible mass, it bounce

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

2.67 m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 1.5 N/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Unstretched length

Frequency of SHM motion is given by

$f_s=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Frequency of pendulum is given by

$f_p=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}$

Given in the question

$f_p=\dfrac{1}{2}f_s$

$\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g}{l}=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{k}{m}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4gm}{k}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4\times 9.81\times \dfrac{1}{9.81}}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow l=2.67\ m$

The unstretched length of the spring is 2.67 m

A 85 kg lineman tackles a 90 kg receiver. The receiver is running 5.8 m/s, and the lineman is moving 4.1 m/s, at a right angle t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of lineman,m=85 kg

Mass of receiver,m'=90 kg

Speed of receiver,v'=5.8 m/s

Speed of lineman,v=4.1 m/s

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

We have to find the their velocity immediately after the tackle.

Initial momentum, $P_i=\sqrt{p^2_1+p^2_2}=\sqrt{(85\times 4.1)^2+(90\times 5.8)^2}=627.6 kgm/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum= $(m+m')V$

$627.6=(85+90)V=175V$

$V=\frac{627.6}{175}=3.59 m/s$

Explain melting and freezing using the kinetic theory of matter

Alexxx [7]

As a liquid is cooled its molecules lose kinetic energy and their motion slows. When they've slowed to where intermolecular attractive forces exceed the collisional forces from random motion, then a phase transition from liquid to solid state takes place and the material freezes
