Two groups wanted to determine which size of parachute, when released, fell to the ground the slowest. Each group's design and r

esults are shown in the table below.
Each group designed their parachutes as follows:
Design and Results by Group

Group 1
6 20 cm pieces of string
1 50 g package
24 cm round plastic parachute

Results
6 seconds
Group 2
6 20 cm pieces of string
1 50 g package
12 cm round plastic parachute

Results
3 seconds

Which of the following explains why this exercise represents a carefully designed experiment?

A.
They used the same mass of package in all the trials.
B.
They altered only one variable in their design and testing.
C.
They used the same materials when making each parachute.
D.
They confirmed that the smaller the parachute, the faster it falls.

What nuclear reaction is the energy source of a white dwarf?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Multiple choice answer would be "None"

Explanation:

White dwarfs are radiating stored heat from earlier reactions.  

Technically, it would be the last fusion stage the star went through  

BEFORE it became a white dwarf, but that's nit-picking.

Over the time interval after a difference in potential is applied between the ends of a wire, what would happen to the drift vel
Dmitrij [34]

The the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

Assume we could increase the average time between collisions in a typical metal to get to a limit of zero resistance. The free electrons would therefore be continuously accelerated by a constant applied voltage, according to the classical paradigm of conduction. Both the current and the drift speed would gradually pick up over time.

Although it is not the scenario implied by the question, it is possible to switch to zero resistance by using a superconducting wire instead of the usual metal. In this scenario, the maximum current is constrained, the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice, and it is difficult to produce a potential difference across the superconductor.

A wire carrying current I from south to north then passes directly over top of the compass. As a result, the compass needle A) d
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the current carrying wire carries current in south to north direction, the direction of magnetic field is given by the Right hand thumb rule which is in anticlockwise direction so the magnetic compass deflects towards west.

A simple pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the support string is at an angle of 25° from the vertical. If
hammer [34]

Answer: 2.3m/s

Explanation:

mass-energy balance: ke(f) + pe(f) = ke(o) + pe(o)

since we are looking for the point at the bottom of the pendulum, thats the reference point, the lowest in the system. pe(f) is 0, since h

ke(f)=0.5m x v(f)^2

pe(f)=0

ke(o)=0.5m x v(o)^2

pe(o)-mxgxh

find h by: drawing a triangle with the pendulum at the vertical, then displaced by 25 degrees , The difference in height is h, because cos(25)=(adj)/(hyp)=(2-h)/2. I found h=0.187m

In the m-e balance, cancel the masses in all the terms.

.5xv(f)^2 =0.5v(o)^2 +gxh

Given v(o) = 1.2 m/s and g = 9.8 then v(f) = 2.2595 m/s

Therefore V(0) = 2.3 m/s
