Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcular a los 2,5 s i) la rapidez que lleva; ii) cuánto ha descendido; iii) c
stira [4]

Answer:

i) 24.5 m/s

ii) 30,656 m

iii) 89,344 m

Explanation:

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcule a 2.5 s i) la velocidad que toma; ii) cuánto ha disminuido; iii) cuánto queda por hacer

i) Los parámetros dados son;

Altura inicial, s = 120 m

El tiempo en caída libre = 2.5 s

De la ecuación de caída libre, tenemos;

v = u + gt

Dónde:

u = Velocidad inicial = 0 m / s

g = Aceleración debida a la gravedad = 9.81 m / s²

t = Tiempo de caída libre = 2.5 s

Por lo tanto;

v = 0 + 9.8 × 2.5 = 24.5 m / s

ii) El nivel que el cuerpo ha alcanzado en 2.5 segundos está dado por la relación

s = u · t + 1/2 · g · t²

= 0 × 2.5 + 1/2 × 9.81 × 2.5² = 30.656 m

iii) La altura restante = 120 - 30.656 = 89.344 m.

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton
