A scientist studies the strengths of different types of wood, including oak and

Physics

AfilCa [17]4 years ago

C

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.

If an object is thrown upward at 128 feet per second from a height of 76 feet, its height S after t seconds is given by the foll
faltersainse [42]
<h2>a) Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward</h2><h2>b) Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward</h2>

Explanation:

a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²

    s(0) = 76 + 128 x 0 − 16 x 0² = 76 ft

    s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft

    Displacement in 4 seconds = 332 - 76 = 256 ft

    Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s

    \texttt{Velocity = }\frac{256}{4}=64ft/s

    Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward

a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²

    s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft

    s(8) = 76 + 128 x 8 − 16 x 8² = 78 ft

    Displacement in 4 seconds = 78 - 332 = -254 ft

    Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s

    \texttt{Velocity = }\frac{-254}{4}=-63.5ft/s

    Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V=  30 m/s  ( + x direction )

d)  λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s                     (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s  ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x  λ

 λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}

U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

What is the potential energy of a puppy that weighs 18 N istting in a high chair 2 m high?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.
