Answer:

Applied Research: It is a research conducted to find solutions for specific problems in a particular field of studies. Example, health effects on food that are genetically modified.

Basic research: It is basic research on any field to have a clear understanding of something from the existing knowledge. Example, the study on evolution of the living organisms.

Control: To increase the reliability of the result the scientific experiments decrease the number of variables (depending factors) in the experiment.

Dependent variable: This is a variable that determines the outcome of the result of an experiment depending on the independent variables. For example, stress influence the heart rate. Heart rate is a dependent variable.

Empirical evidence: It is the collection of scientific facts directly or indirectly. These facts support the scientific nature of the research. For example, measuring temperature, water freezing at a particular temperature and pressure.

Hypothesis: It is an explanation or assumption of a phenomenon based on limited empirical evidence. This is the first step of the research.

Independent variable: This is a variable that the experimenter has control to change. For example, stress influence the heart rate. Stress is an independent variable.

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze

You are traveling 70 mph (31.3 m/s) and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. How far do you travel if it takes you 8

Arlecino [84]

You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

Given the following data:

Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s

Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Where:

S is the distance travelled.

u is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

$S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025$

Distance, S = 620.075 meters.

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.
