How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?

Physics

The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.

A constant force of 2.5 N to the right acts on a 4.5 kg mass for 0.90 s.
Alborosie

Answer:

(a) v_f=0.5\frac{m}{s}

(b) v_f=-11\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

(a) Since a constant external force is applied to the body, it is under an uniformly accelerated motion. Using the following kinematic equation, we calculate the final velocity of the mass  if it is initially at rest(v_0=0):

v_f=v_0+at\\v_f=at(1)

According to Newton's second law:

F=ma\\a=\frac{F}{m}(2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

v_f=\frac{F}{m}t\\v_f=\frac{2.5N}{4.5kg}(0.9s)\\v_f=0.5\frac{m}{s}

(b) In this case we have v_0=-11.5\frac{m}{s}. So, we use the final velocity equation:

v_f=v_0+at\\v_f=v_0+\frac{F}{m}t\\v_f=-11.5\frac{m}{s}+\frac{2.5N}{4.5kg}(0.9s)\\v_f=-11\frac{m}{s}

Consider a uniform electric field of 50 N/C directed toward the east. If the voltage measured relative to ground at a given poin
qaws [65]

Answer:

30 V

Explanation:

Given that:

The uniform electric field = 50 N/C

Voltage = 80 V

distance = 1.0 m

The potential difference of the electric field = Δ V

E_d = V₁ - V₂

50 × 1 = 80V - V₂

50 - 80 V = - V₂

-30 V = - V₂

V₂ = 30 V

What is a control,constant, independent variable, and a dependent variable in a science experiment?
vagabundo [1.1K]
A control is something you don't touch/change in a exprement, a constant is the same as the control, the independent is the one the you do vhange, the dependet is the one that you observe/ use your 5 sences with.
