Answer:

A. controlled experiment

Explanation:

Here option A controlled experiment is the correct answer

A Controlled experiment is the one with one dependent variable and one experimental variable. A controlled experiment is simply and experiment in which one variable is kept independent and all other factors are kept constant. The advantage of controlled experiment is that it makes easier to eliminate uncertainty about the significance of the result.

An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown

ira [324]

Answer:

The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

$P_{bot}=\gamma_{oil}h_1 + \gamma_{unk}h_2,$

where $h_1$ and $h_2$ are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for $\gamma_{unk}$ , we have

$\gamma_{unk} = \frac{P_{bot} - \gamma_{oil}h_1}{h_2} = \frac{65\frac{kN}{m^2} - 8.5\frac{kN}{m^3}\times 5m}{1.5m} = \mathbf{15 \frac{kN}{m^3}}.$

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.

Why does a hot-air balloon rise?

prohojiy [21]

Answer: The weight of the air displaced by the balloon is less than the volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

A hot air balloon is a cloth wrap that contains several thousand cubic meters of air inside (a large volume of air). The burner heats the liquid propane to a gaseous state to generate a huge flame, which can reach more than 3 meters, thus heating the air mass inside the balloon. In this way, its density is modified with respect to the air that surrounds it, because the hot air is lighter than the outside air (less dense), causing the balloon to rise and float.

Now, if we know that the density of a body $d$ is directly proportional to its mass $m$ and inversely proportional to its volume $V$ :

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

We can deduce that by increasing the volume of the body, its density will decrease.

This is proof of Archimedes' Principle:

A body totally or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, experiences a vertical upward thrust equal to the mass weight of the body volume that is displaced.

In this case the fluid is the air outside. So, the warm air inside the balloon, being less dense, will weigh less than the outside air and therefore will receive an upward pushing force or thrust that will make the balloon ascend.

(a) Write the energy equation for an elastic collision. (b) For an inelastic collision.

velikii [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

(a) Elastic collision: When there is no loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be elastic collision.

In case of elastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is conserved and all the forces are conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The kinetic energy of the system before collision = the kinetic energy after the collision

(b) Inelastic collision: When there is some loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be inelastic collision.

In case of inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is not conserved, the total mechanical energy is conserved and all the forces or some of the forces are non conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The total mechanical energy of the system before collision = total mechanical of the system after the collision
