The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.

2 answers:

8 0

The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.

Answer: c. choosing variables and controls.

A scientific inquiry is a fact finding inquiry regarding scientific reasons for natural phenomena. A scientific inquiry process involves development of questions, experimentation and drawing conclusion. The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves choosing of variables and controls to derive data which can lead to conclusion of the scientific inquiry.

A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km

How to tell if something is an electrolyte

schepotkina [342]

Answer: If it has ions, it is an electrolyte

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that electrolytes are compounds that contain charged particles or ions, which can be cations (positive ions) or anions (negative ions).

So, it is this composition that makes an electrolytic material conduct electricity.

In this sense, the way to identify if a material is an electrolyte or not, is knowing whether it is composed of ions or not.

why does the velocity in the horizontal direction remain constant while the velocity in the vertical direction changes?

Bond [772]

The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value), There is a verticalacceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa

Lesechka [4]

At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
$U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2$
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
$K_i =0$
And the total energy of the system is
$E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2$

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
$U_f = 0$
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
And the total energy is
$E_f = U_f + K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore $E_i = E_f$ . So we can write
$\frac{1}{2} ka^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }$
