Describe how we can use scientific knowledge and reasoning to help guide us when making decisions

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A very simple example is the light bulb question. If the light bulb in your room goes out, scientific reasoning will first attribute it to a short circuit. Then, after setting up the hypothesis, we go and check if changing the fuse solves the problem. if not, the hypothesis is rejected and we change the hypothesis and do another experiment.</span>

A ball is thrown up into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top

jenyasd209 [6]

The kinetic energy when it returns to its original height is 100 J

Solution:

The ball is thrown up with a Kinetic Energy K. E. = 0.5×m×v² = 100 J

Therefore the final height is given by

Where:

u = final velocity = 0

v = initial velocity

s = final height

Therefore v² = 2·g·s = 19.62·s

P.E = Potential Energy = m·g·s

Since v² = 2·g·s

Substituting the value of v² in the kinetic energy formula, we obtain

K. E. = 0.5×m×2·g·s = m·g·s = P.E. = 100 J

When the ball returns to the original height, we have

v² = u² + 2·g·s

Since u = 0 = initial velocity in this case we have

v² = 2·g·s and the Kinetic energy = 0.5·m·v²

Since m and s are the same then 0.5·m·v² = 100 J.

As the height of the ball increases the kinetic energy of the ball is converted into gravitational potential energy. This means that the kinetic energy of the bullet is reduced. When the ball reaches its maximum height, it momentarily comes to rest and the ball's kinetic energy is zero. When the ball hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Zorn and Porsha are ice skating. Porsha has a mass of 60 kg, and Zorn has a mass of 40 kg. As they face each

algol13

Assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Missing part of the question: determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration.

Given the data in the question;

Mass of Porsha; $m_{porsha} = 60kg$

Mass of Zorn; $m_{zorn} = 40kg$

Force of Porsha push; $F_{porsha} = 168N$

Magnitude of Porsha's acceleration; $a = \ ?$

To determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration, we use Newton's second laws of motion:

$F = m*a$

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

We substitute the mass of Porsha and the force he used into the equation

$168N = 60kg * a\\\\a = \frac{168kg.m/s^2}{60kg}\\\\a = 2.8m/s^2$

Therefore, assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.

pychu [463]

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

How would you explain conduction?

alexira [117]

Answer:

the meaning of conduction is the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
