Julie wants to know if adding calcium fertilizer to tomato plants will help prevent a disease of tomato plants called blossom-en

Ksivusya [100]

It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.

Kelli weighs 425 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.36 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

$E_i = E_f$

so:

$wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2$

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

$(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2$

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec

AysviL [449]

The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
$E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$
where
$\sigma$ is the charge density
$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
$E=30 N/C$
