Answer:

This is the simplified definition.

Explanation:

The main goal of physics is to explain how things move in space and time and understand how the universe behaves.

Answer: Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.

Why is it important to use placebos and a double-blind approach in some studies
viktelen [127]
Another name for these two words is "constant" and you want to have a "constant", because you want something to compare your experimental group to, to see whether data had changed or not. So you have placebos or a double- blind to compare your experimental group to it and also so you know you don't have a bias or anything in the study.

An automobile travels on a straight road for 42 km at 45 km/h. it then continues in the same direction for another 42 km at 90 k
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) The average velocity is v = (60 km/h ; 0)

b) The average speed is 60 km/h

Explanation:

The velocity is a vector that has a magnitude and direction. The average speed is the distance traveled over time without taking into account the direction of the motion.

a)The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = Δx/Δt

where

v = velocity

Δx = final position - initial position = traveled distance relative to the center of the reference system.

Δt = final time - initial time (initial time is usually = 0)

We know that the displacement is 84 km but we do not know the time. It can be calculated from the two parts of the trip.

In part 1:

v = 45 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 0.93 h

In part 2:

v = 90 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 42 km / 90 km/h

t = 0.47 h

The time of travel is 0.47 h + 0.93 h = 1.4 h

The average velocity will be:

v = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

Expressed as a vector in a 2-dimension plane:

v = (60 km/h; 0)

b) The average speed is calculated as the distance traveled over time. Note that in this case, the distance is equal to the displacement since the direction of the motion is always in one direction. But if the direction of the second part of the trip would have been the opposite to the direction of the first part, the displacement would have been 0 (final position - initial position = 0, because final position = initial position), then, the average velocity would have been 0. In change, the average speed would have been the distance traveled (84 km, 42 km in one direction and 42 km in the other) over time.

Then:

average speed = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

c) see attached figure.

Consider an oblique shock wave with a wave angle of 35 o . Upstream of the wave, the static pressure and temperature are 2,000 l
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The pressure is 6570  lbf/ft²

The temperature is 766 ⁰R

The velocity is 2746.7 ft/s

deflection angle behind the wave is 17.56⁰

Explanation:

Speed of air at initial condition:

a_1 = \sqrt{\gamma RT } =  \sqrt{1.4* 1716*520 } = 1117.70 \ ft/s

γ is the ratio of specific heat, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the initial temperature.

initial mach number

M_1 = \frac{v_1}{a_1} = \frac{3355}{1117.7}  = 3

then, M_n = M_1sin \beta = 3sin(35) = 1.721

based on the values obtained, read off the following from table;

P₂/P₁ = 3.285

T₂/T₁ = 1.473

Mₙ₂ = 0.6355

Thus;

P₂ = 3.285P₁ = 3.285(2000) = 6570  lbf/ft²

T₂ = 1.473T₁ = 1.473(520⁰R) = 766 ⁰R

Again; to determine the velocity and deflection angle, first we calculate the mach number.

M_t_1 = M_1cos \beta = 3 cos(35) = 2.458

w_2 = a_1M_t_1 = 2.458(1117.70) = 2746.7 \ ft/s

a_2 = \sqrt{\gamma RT_2} = \sqrt{1.4*1718*766} = 1357.34 \ ft/s

v_2 = a_2M_n_2 = 1357.34(0.6355) = 862.59 \ ft/s

Tan(\beta -\theta) = \frac{v_2}{w_2} = \frac{862.59}{2746.7}  \\\\Tan(\beta -\theta) = 0.314\\\\\beta -\theta= 17.44\\\\\theta = \beta - 17.44 = 17.56^o

Would a measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  ) ? Show your w
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  Measured force is  F_M  =  [46.5 \pm 0.8 \  N ]

   Calculated force is  F_c =  [48.4 \pm 0.6 \  N ]

Generally the measured force in interval form is

     46.5 - 0.8  < F_M  <  46.5 + 0.8

=>  45.7   < F_M  < 47.3

Generally the calculated  force in interval form is

     48.4 - 0.6  < F_c  <  48.4 + 0.6

=>  47.8   < F_M

Generally looking both interval we see that they do not intersect at any point Hence  

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )
