A student made the following observations about a squirrel’s movements:

1 answer:

4 0

The correct option is <u>D</u>.

Qualitative observations are observations that are made using our senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and feel. These observations do not involve numbers or measurements of any kind.

The student's observations regarding the squirrel as is mentioned in options A, B and C involve measurements. Therefore these are not qualitative observations.

Option D, however, is made on the basis of sight, where the student observes the squirrel moving in a zigzag manner.

Therefore, of all the three observations, the student's observation that the squirrel ran in a zigzag pattern is the qualitative observation.

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t

Answer:

$1650\:\mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

$v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x$ .

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

$132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ .

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

$132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}$ (three significant figures).
