How does the scientific process generally begin?

2 answers:

5 0

There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis

Answer : To develop a scientific process is a big task. Initially the scientist or the interested researcher may start with the following steps;

a) Start with an Unsolved question;

b) Conduct experiments;

c) Analyse from the observations of the experiments

d) From the conclusions create an theoretical hypothesis;

e) Check for reproducibility of the test results.

f) Write a thesis and submit to a scientific community.

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.

marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

$B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB$

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

$v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s$

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

$f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )$

where;

-v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
-vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
fs is the source frequency
fo is the observed frequency
v is speed of sound

$f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )$

$f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz$

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co

Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop. At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, $\omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min$ , radius of the record $r=0.1m$ and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as $d=1.75mm$ .

The linear speed of the record in meters per second is:

$v=\omega r=33\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2\pi}{60}\times 10\times 10^{_2}\\\\=0.3843m/s\\$

#From $v$ above, if the bumps are uniformly separated by 1m, then the rate at which they hit the stylus is:

$Hits/second=v/d \ \ \ \ d=1.75mm\\\\=0.3483/0.000175\\\\=199.0385714\approx 199$

Hence the bumps hit the stylus at around 199hit/s

Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane

frutty [35]

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.
