What are the main ideas of physical science

1 answer:

3 0

Hysical science is defined as the study of observable phenomena in the universe.

the main idea of physical science is known as the "scientific method". 

this method states: 

observe a "real" ( not imaginary ) phenomena. 

make a hypothesis ( or theory / idea ) that EXPLAINS this phenomena. 

conduct a real experiment to test this hyothesis. 

confirm that the experiment validates the original hypothesis and if necessary amend the theory. 

it has worked so well that the very communication you are having with me is a result of the wonders of physical science.

The potential energy of a negative charge moved from point A to point B will increase.A negative charge moved from point A to po

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The K.E from A to B won't increase...

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).

Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

$\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}$

Put the value into the formula

$525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950$

$\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2$

$\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305$

$c+v=0.305\times(c-v)$

$v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)$

$v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c$

$v=−0.532c$

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

A racing car travels on a circular track of radius 158 m, moving with a constant linear speed of 19.1 m/s. Find its angular spee

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$\omega=0.12\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion, since a complete revolution represents 2π radians, the angular velocity, which is defined as the angle rotated by a unit of time, is given by:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}(1)$

Here T is the period, that is, the time taken to complete onee revolution:

$T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{2\pi r}{v}}=\frac{v}{r}\\\omega=\frac{19.1\frac{m}{s}}{158m}\\\omega=0.12\frac{rad}{s}$
