Answer: It is called an observation

Explanation: When we have a phenomenal and we want to gather information about it, we need to "observe" it.

This may be done by using our senses, like looking, smelling, touching, or a more modern approach, using tools, like spectrometers, velocimeter, or the needed tool.

A given feature of a phenomenon that can be measured is called an "observable", and the act of measuring this "observable" is called an "observation"

Answer:

It remains the same

Explanation:

It remains the same. This is because the number of protons doesn't change and the number of protons determines the atomic number.

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

$z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}$

$z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}$

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600$

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t$

For t = 4 s:

$\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s$

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1 2 and t = 1 s? Use G

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.

Answer:

y(1s) - y(1/2s) = - 3.675 m

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Explanation:

Given data

time=1/2 sec to 1 sec

v(t)=-9.8t m/s

To find

Distance

Solution

As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time

acceleration(-g)= dv/dt

Solve it

dv = a dt

dv = -g dt

v - v₀ = -gt

v= dy/dt

dy = v dt

dy = ( v₀ - gt ) dt

y(1s) - y(1/2s) = ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]

y(1s) - y(1/2s) = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]

y1s - y1/2s = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )

y(1s) - y(1/2s) = - 3.675 m

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

$W = mg$

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

$W_{x} = mg_{x}$

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

$34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}$

$g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}$

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
