<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>

The graph shows projected changes in the populations of the world.
malfutka [58]

Answer: C. Africa

Explanation:

The data given on the graph shows that:

Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:

= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times

Europe will decrease over that period.

Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:

= 2,000 / 300

= 6.67 times

Mexico

, Central America, Caribbean Islands:

= 900 / 120

= 7.5 times

United States,  Canada, and Greenland:

= 400/120

= 3.33

Oceania:

= 50 / 13

= 3.85

From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.

Which of the following best describes a substance in which the temperature remains constant while at the same time it is experie
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Explanation:

Latent Heat: Latent heat is the heat required to change the state of a substance without change in temperature. Latent heat is also known as hidden heat because the heat is not visible. The unit is Joules (J).

Latent heat is divided into two:

⇒ Latent Heat of fusion

⇒ Latent Heat of vaporization.

Latent Heat of fusion: This is the heat  energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without change in temperature. E.g (Ice) When ice is heated, its temperature rise steadily until a certain temperature is reached when the solid begins to melts.

Latent Heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to change a liquid substance to vapor without a change in temperature. The latent heat depend on the mass of the liquid and the nature of the liquid. E.g When water is heated from a known temperature  its boiling point (100°C) When more heat is supplied to its boiling temperature, it continue to boil without a change in temperature.

From The above, Latent heat brings about  a change of state of a substance at a steady temperature.

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

A rope is pulling a sled is sloped at 25 degrees upward at the point of contact. The tension in the rope is 40.0N. What is the h
pshichka [43]
T = 40.0 N

angle = 25°

Trigonometric ratios:

sin(25°) = vertical component of the force / force

cos(25°) = horizontal component of the force / force

tan (25°) = vertical compoent of the force / horizontal component of the force.

From cos(25°) you can find the horizontal component of the force:

horizontal component of the force = force * cos(25°)

The force is the tension, 40.0 N.

horizontal component of the force = 40.0 N * cos (25°) = 36.25 N

Answer: 36.25 N

An athlete can twirl a baton so that it reaches an angular velocity of 12 rad/s from rest in 0.5 s. If the length of a uniform b
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The torque needed is 46.08 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity, ω = 12 rad/s

time of motion, t = 0.5 s

length of the baton, r = 0.8 m

mass of the baton, 0.5 kg

The torque needed to  reach the angular velocity is given by;

τ = F x r

where;

F is the centripetal force of the baton

r is the length of the baton = radius of the circular motion of the baton

F_c =ma_c= \frac{mv^2}{r} = m\omega^2 r

Torque is given by;

\tau = F_c *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r^2 \\\\\tau = (0.5)(12)^2(0.8)^2\\\\\tau = 46.08 \ N m

Therefore, the torque needed is 46.08 Nm
