Answer:

after 38.8 years it will double

correct option is D 38.8 years

Explanation:

given data

population grows rate = 1.8%

to find out

how many years will it take to double

solution

we consider here initial population is x

so after 1 year population will be = (100% + 1.8% ) x = 1.018 x

and after n year population will be = $1.018^{n} x$

so it will double

2x = $1.018^{n} x$

take log both side

log 2 = n log (1.018)

n = $\frac{log2}{log1.018}$

n = 38.853

so after 38.8 years it will double

correct option is D 38.8 years

ANSWER One end of a string is attached to an object of mass M, and the other end of the string is secured so that the object is

qaws [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is a case of oscillation by simple pendulum . Expression for simple pendulum is given as follows

T = $2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

where T is time period , l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .

$\frac{1}{f} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$ , f is frequency of oscillation

For the given case

$\frac{1}{f_o} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

subsequently length becomes half so

$\frac{1}{f} =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{2g} }$

dividing

$\frac{f}{f_o} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{1} }$

f = $\sqrt{2} f_o$

frequency of oscillation becomes √2 times.

The scientific method is a process by which scientists: prove theories to be known facts gain confidence in theories by failing

mixer [17]

Answer:

The scientific method is the process by which scientists gain confidence in theories by failing to prove them wrong.

Explanation:

Scientific method is a step by step process of creating and carrying out experiments. These processes to be performed are derived from logical and rational application of knowledge concerning a particular subject matter. Through these processes, scientists reach a conclusion about the world, these makes them confident in their findings.

The steps involved in scientific method include:

Observation: it is the first step. It enables you organise in your mind how you want the experiment to.

HYPOTHESIS is the result you imagine you'll find.

PREDICTION is how you think about the scientific idea- It solely relies on the hypothesis made.

EXPERIMENT is used to test your hypothesis. It is the tool designed to check if your idea is right or wrong.

CONCLUSION is the final step. It is the result gotten from the experiment. It can approve the hypothesis or reject the hypothesis.

A theory is formed when hypothesis has been tested to be true by many scientists. Hence scientists gain confidence in theories when the scientific method is approved.

A scientific theory is a well-approved explanation of an aspect of the natural world. The approval is based on thoroughly confirmed hypothesis and experiments carried out by many scientists.

What is the energy stored, in units of nanoJoules, on a 14.8 nF capacitor when the voltage applied across the capacitor is 7.2 V

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

383.6 nJ

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:

$E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage applied

In this problem, we have

C = 14.8 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor

V = 7.2 V is the voltage

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(14.8 nF)(7.2 V)^2=383.6 nJ$
